Felipe Massa has said that he is confident that Ferrari can still manage a podium finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix, despite a largely disappointing qualifying session.

Massa qualified in seventh, one place behind teammate Fernando Alonso, but has refused to rule out Ferrari's chances on race day tomorrow.

"It will be very hot tomorrow and it could also rain, so we will need to be on top of whatever situation arises," Crash.net quotes Massa as saying.

"We will have to wait and see how things turn out in what will be a long race tomorrow, but I think we are still in with a chance of fighting for a podium finish, even if we are up against very strong opposition."

Massa is struggling in 14th in the drivers' standings, while Alonso leads.
