SAO PAULO, Brazil -- The solid performance by the Williams team in early testing has left Felipe Massa upbeat about the new Formula One season. The Brazilian driver had the second-best time in last months tests at Jerez and said the "good start" could play to his advantage when the season gets underway in Australia in March. "It always helps to start well, especially now that we have a completely different car, which requires a completely different driving style," Massa said at a news conference on Tuesday. Testing is seen as crucial this year as significant rule changes have been implemented, including a switch to a turbo engine and more sophisticated energy recovery systems. Debuting with Williams after eight years with Ferrari, Massa was clearly looking forward to making a fresh start. "Im really motivated, this is a special moment for me," he said. "I changed to a team that welcomed me with open arms. I needed this change and I think the team needed too." Massa remained cautious, however, saying that the cars full potential wont be known until the first race starts. Car designs needed significant aerodynamic alterations compared to last year, with reliability and fuel consumption likely to play a big part in races. "I think theres a lot to learn with the car and a lot has to be done to make the car improve," Massa said. "Its hard to say right now how good we will be. Usually, in the first races it will be difficult just to finish the race. But it was a good start, I was happy." He said Mercedes also looked to be in a strong position after the tests, but that Red Bull has a lot of work to do to get its car ready after a series of mechanical difficulties. McLarens Kevin Magnussen had the best time overall after the four days of testing in Jerez, Spain. There will be two more test sessions ahead of the March 16 opener in Australia. The next testing period runs from Feb. 19-22 in Bahrain. Massa said he went to France to visit former Ferrari teammate and seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher, who is recovering from a serious head injury after a skiing accident in the French resort of Meribel on Dec. 29. "I stayed a long time by his side," said Massa, without providing many details on his condition. "It was good to be there. It looked like he was just sleeping, like anyone of us sleeps. Im really hopeful that everything will be OK and that he will wake up and recover fully." Massa said he is getting daily updates on the condition of his "great friend."

Also in the round of 32, seven-time winner Valencia was held to a 0-0 draw at third-division Nastic Tarragona, while Espanyol needed a late goal from Christian Stuani to secure a 2-2 draw at second-division Real Jaen. Almeria did take care of business and struck three times in 11 first-half minutes to earn a 3-1 victory at second-tier Las Palmas. Ighalo headed in Fran Ricos free kick to open the scoring for Granada on the half-hour mark, and the Nigerian striker added a second goal in the 81st minute after expertly wrong-footing his marker on the break. Alcorcon striker Francisco Peral wasted the hosts best chance in the 71st when he sent the ball off the crossbar from the edge of the six-yard box. Other than those few scoring opportunities, the match was a scrappy, defensive struggle at the Santo Domingo Stadium where in 2009 the unknown Alcorcon humiliated Real Madrid 4-0 in the cup competition while in the third division. "It wasnt easy to win 2-0 here because Alcorcon is a team with a lot of tradition," Granada coach Lucas Alcaraz said. "It was a much more complicated game than just any other league match because we play at another pace in the first division and Alcorcon is always a very difficult rival." Valencia was fortunate not to head back to Messtalla with a loss after being outplayed by Nastic, whose pair of Ivory Coast forwards Junior Wakalible and Jean Luc Gbayara ran amok in the visitors defence.dddddddddddd Valencia will miss Brazilian striker Jonas for the return leg against Nastic after he was dismissed with a second booking in the 87th.

The match swung back to finally favour Espanyol when Stuani headed in a corner kick with two minutes to play to give his team the away-goal advantage entering the return leg. Almeria striker Oscar Diaz scored two goals to fuel its big win in the Canary Islands. Diaz controlled a cross by Raul Garcia behind Las Palmas passive defence to open in the 16th. Almerias Aleix Vidal pounced on a poor back pass by Las Palmas to make it 2-0 in the 22nd, and four minutes later Diaz converted a penalty kick when Ramon Azeez was fouled in the area. Almerias Christian Fernandez was sent off with a second yellow card in the 61st. Nauzet Aleman pulled one back for Las Palmas in the 74th with a free kick before seeing a direct red card in the 81st for kicking an opponent, meaning he too will miss the second leg.
