Williams's Felipe Massa has expressed his disappointment at being forced to retire on the first lap of the Australian Grand Prix.
The Brazilian was taken out by Caterham's Kamui Kobayashi in the early stages at Melbourne Park on Sunday to bring a premature end to his race.
Despite his season getting off to a poor start, Massa is confident that he will put in a strong performance for the Malaysian Grand Prix at the end of the month.
"I'm obviously very disappointed as I had the sort of car capable of challenging for a podium today, but the incident in the first corner ruined my race," he told BBC Sport.
"It's a shame but there are a lot of positive things that the team can take from this weekend in terms of pace and reliability, so I'm just thinking about the next race and having a strong result there."
Mercedes's Nico Rosberg won the Australian Grand Prix, finishing ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren's Kevin Magnussen.
