Realistically he will need some atrition ahead to score any points, as the car isn't fast enough yet, and Massa will p[robably still be ahead of him.

Oh well, it was a long shot anyway.

O/T: To any engineers out there. If the cooler ambient temp at Imola is less stressful, wouldn't the same cooler moist air help the engines produce more power and therefore put strain back on?
