Massa: Adapting to Formula E after F1 "not easy"

Former Ferrari and Williams driver Felipe Massa revealed that adapting to his new car in Formula E hasn't been an easy process. The Brazilian retired from F1 at the end of the 2016 season and now races for the Venturi Formula E team.

Massa has had a tough transition from F1 to Formula E, finishing 14th and 18th at the first two rounds of the season so far. The 37-year-old admitted that the switch to the all-electric series hasn't been straight forward as some had expected.

"It’s not easy. There’s so many things you need to change, especially when you’re (used to) driving in Formula 1. I did some testing, I think step-by-step I’m understanding how is the procedure in Formula E.

"There’s so many different areas, especially races you need to have one mind but the qualifying another one just going with more power for one lap. So again you have so many things that is different. The track, city tracks, very narrow, low grip. There’s a lot to learn but hopefully I can do things in the right way."

Formula E is back in under two weeks for the Chilean E-Prix in Santiago.
