Felipe Massa has revealed he can “understand” why he has not always been driving a car in the same specification as teammate Fernando Alonso at recent races.<\/p>\n

\"Felipe-Massa-car\"It emerged in India last weekend that Brazilian Massa’s Ferrari was a specification behind championship contender Alonso’s, and it is believed the same will be true in Abu Dhabi as well.<\/p>\n

“We have more (new parts) for me here and more for Alonso too,” Massa is quoted by Brazil’s Totalrace.<\/p>\n

“Let’s see if it works, that’s the important thing, but we may not have the same car again,” he admitted.<\/p>\n

Massa, however, insisted he is not complaining about Ferrari focusing its development efforts on Alonso’s title push.<\/p>\n

“Throughout the year I don’t remember it happening,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It’s a rush inside the team to try new parts and have at least one (version) ready, which you can understand,” said Massa.<\/p>\n

“Looking at how the championship is, it’s understandable.<\/p>\n

“But of course it’s not sensational to know that a piece is working on the other car and you don’t have it,” acknowledged Massa.<\/p>\n
