Felipe Massa failed to finish last year's Hungarian Grand Prix but fared better in his 2002 debut. He converted his 7th place start into a 7th place finish, equaling SAUBER's best qualifying result at the Hungaroring in the process.

Felipe Massa:

"I like this place a lot. The track has a nice layout. It looks quite tight, but actually it isn’t. There are several medium- to high-speed corners, and that’s always nice. The only problem is that it is very, very difficult to overtake here, so you really have to make the most of the car for qualifying and then you can generally defend in the race if necessary.

"I had a brake problem last year but with a good amount of fuel in free practice I could lap in the top 10, so I think this is a good track for me and I hope that it will suit the SAUBER PETRONAS C24. We have Michelin tyres this year, so I think we should go very well here. I’m really looking forward to this weekend."
