Two weeks ago Felipe Massas hopes of a podium in Spain were wrecked by a strange situation with the refuelling of his Ferrari blog F1, which meant that the team believed he was running out of fuel and was telling him to slow down in the closing stages of the race. When we spoke to him after the race he and the team had not worked out the reason, but yesterday he explained what happened,He lost places to Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso.

Then we changed the refuelling machine, we did exactly the same thing, and we again had the wrong numbers, so maybe I saved fuel for nothing.

A very frustrating situation, unusual too. This weekend the Ferrari should be pretty combative, so Massa has another clean chance to get that first podium of the season. What happened to my car especially in the last race was something that I never saw before. We had the fuel in the car but the car was reading wrong numbers, so the refuelling machine was putting the right fuel in, it was reading the right numbers of the amount of fuel that went inside but the car was saying to the engineers, to the telemetry, that all the fuel was not inside.
