Williams driver Felipe Massa said he hopes to be his team's Lionel Messi during the Spanish Grand Prix at the weekend. Massa was at Camp Nou on Wednesday night to witness Messi's on-field exploits that led FC Barcelona to a 3-0 rout of FC Bayern Munich in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal.
"Yesterday (I was at) the game. "I was there, it was nice to see Barcelona playing - it was amazing and so strong so I hope we can have a similar result like they had yesterday as well here!"
When asked who he thinks is the Messi of the Williams team, Massa jokingly said "I hope me! I will try." Massa is currently fifth in the driver's standing led by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
Talking about the race on Sunday, the Brazilian said "We will try everything we can. It's definitely another race after three weeks, we're working to have lots of parts on the car. I hope we can have a good weekend here. I don't think things will change completely from the first four race and this race, but I hope we can have a good weekend."
