I remember I was in the grandstand watching and supporting Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, always dreaming to be here, and then I managed to get here and win two races here in Interlagos, getting a lot of times in the podiums, so its definitely a fantastic place for me.I will miss this race when I see these guys racing next year, I will miss to be here but I am so happy and proud for everything. I passed through these 15 years in Formula One, every people that I met, friends, drivers, the competition I had with these guys for quite a long time, so I will miss this place, some nice races around the world but also some friends.When asked what his fellow drivers are like to compete against, Massa replied: We are talking about the best drivers in the world.

I expect the best for them and support them.Massa insists he will not allow himself to be overcome with emotion during the race as Williams continues its close battle with Force India over fourth place in the constructors championship, but admits his final lap at Interlagos will be a special moment.When you are in the car you dont think about other things, you just think about what you want to do in the best way as you can. I would say the whole race I will be concentrated on my job, trying to get the best race possible and the best result for me and my team, Especially in this moment when its quite important in this fight with Force India.I think maybe when I finish the race, after the chequered flag, I think it will be very special. It will be a very amazing feeling to do the last lap in Interlagos of my career in F1 here. I think during the race just concentrating on everything I need to do but after maybe it will be quite different. ' ' '
