Ferrari driver Felipe Massa is ruing his luck for not having won last Sunday's race in Magny-Cours, which he led from pole position to the second set of pit stops. He came in second after team-mate Kimi Raikkonen.
"Everything worked perfectly that afternoon, except that at the key moment in the race I was not very lucky and last Sunday Kimi had all the lucky points in his hands," the Brazilian wrote on his blog.
"That's the way it goes sometimes. In qualifying he gained an extra lap being the first man out, then at the start of the race he was lucky to pass Hamilton and then he was lucky I got stuck in traffic. That is why I could not win the race, but apart from that I was quickest all weekend, taking pole position and the fastest lap in the race."
"I cannot say I am unhappy to end up second, having been in the lead for much of the race. In fact I am happy to have contributed to a Ferrari one-two, the first time I have done this with Kimi. But, I am just a little bit disappointed that I was not the one in front at the end of the race. Unfortunately, luck was not on my side, but I am still happy that we got a great result as a team.
"We need to be happy and focus on getting many more good results like this in the rest of the season."
