Hamburg - Ferrari's Felipe Massa believes all the pressure is on title rival Lewis Hamilton ahead of the final Formula One race of the season, Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos.
The McLaren-Mercedes driver Hamilton holds a seven-point lead over Massa following his victory in Shanghai on October 19 and will be crowned the youngest F1 world champion ever at the age of 23 if he finishes in fifth place or higher.
Even if Hamilton finishes outside the points, he will still clinch the drivers' title, if Massa finishes third or lower.
But despite the destination of the championship being out of his hands, the Brazilian feels confident that he could still snatch the title from Hamilton.
Washington, Oct 27 : Ex-Aussie spin master Shane Warne hopes that leg spinner and Test captain, Anil Kumble would play in the third Test in New Delhi, starting on Wednesday at the Ferozshah Kotla ground.
Warne said Kumble, 38, deserved the chance to play in the last two Test matches, given that this could be his final series.
"Knowing what Anil is like, he''s very, very competitive - he''s a gentleman, but he''s very, very competitive deep down - and I''m sure he''ll fight back in this Test match and will be very dangerous," added Warne.
After a poor show in the first two tests against India, Australia opener Matthew Hayden is sure that his team will bounce back in the third Test in Delhi starting from October 29.
Speaking in a press conference here on Sunday, “I think we are extremely confident, we've had good preparation … and are optimistic about the competition that's ahead of us.”
The prolific batsman from Queensland has managed to score only 42 runs in the first two Tests, with 29 being his top score.
Commenting on his poor form, the left hander said, "I won't change my strategy, but that aggression I showed in the second innings (in Mohali) is just how I want to play here.”
