From press release
Brazilian fans are pleased in São Paulo, as local hero Felipe Massa qualified third ahead of Sunday's race. The Williams driver finished the qualifying session only two tenths behind pole-sitter Nico Rosberg, and out-qualified his teammate Valtteri Bottas. "It was a great qualifying for me today and the reaction and energy from the fans was very special and emotional for me," he said.
"This track has a special place in my heart as I was born here in São Paulo and I always get a lot of support. The car has been feeling really good all weekend and although the Mercedes cars still had more raw pace than us, the gap seems to have closed. "My goal is to finish on the podium and celebrate with my home fans." Massa has a good track record at his home race. He's finished on the podium four times, and won the race twice, in 2006 and 2008.
