Massa reveals racy pre-race ritual
"I know it doesn’t make me faster"
Felipe Massa has revealed a racy detail of his preparation for a grand prix.
The Ferrari driver told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport: "On the Saturday night before the race I always have sex."
30-year-old Massa, who has not won a race since his championship challenge in 2008, is married to 33-year-old Raffaela, with whom he has a 1-year-old son Felipe Jr (Felipinho).
The Brazilian said he enjoys his qualifying night ritual "even though I know it doesn’t make me faster!"
He had another disappointing outing in Turkey last weekend but Massa said he is buoyed by the aerodynamic upgrades introduced at Istanbul Park.
"They definitely increased our performance level," he said.
