Ferrari's Felipe Massa says his headline time on the opening day of the second pre-season test means nothing to him.
Massa was over 0.7 seconds faster than his nearest competitor on Thursday as he completed 101 laps of the Jerez circuit in Spain. However, he said he was not reading anything into the times.
"The fastest time? It doesn't mean anything, because we don't know what trim the other drivers were running."
Nevertheless, Massa was buoyed by the car's solid reliability at Jerez, after an oil fire severely limited his running last week at Valencia.
"I am pleased with today," he added. "I was able to run continuously, without losing any valuable time. All those kilometres helped me get to know the car better and especially the tyres, an area where we were able to try different things to those we did in Valencia."
Massa also took the opportunity to send his best wishes to Robert Kubica, who was hospitalised last weekend after a rally crash.
"I am glad Robert is getting better: it was nice that we all had a note for him on our cars and again I wish all the very best."
