Ferrari Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa is confident that his team can compete in the second half of the season.

The Italian team are currently third in the standings, with Massa's teammate Fernando Alonso second behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' table.

"If we do everything right in the race, I'm sure we can be competitive at every race," ESPN quotes Massa as saying. "That's important and many races we've had a problem and we didn't finish in the right position but we've had the pace."

Massa, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has 67 points to his name so far in the campaign.
