Ferrari have heaped pressure on driver Felipe Massa after his recent poor form.
The Brazilian picked up a penalty during Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, and was forced to take an unscheduled tour through the pitlane on the 28th lap for ignoring yellow flags. The penalty meant that Massa slumped to 15th place, and his team are expecting more of him.
"The Brazilian had picked up 49 points two years ago and 24 the following year, while so far this season he has just two," read the team summary.
"In Montmelo, Felipe was very unlucky, both in the race and in qualifying, but everyone, he more than anyone, is expecting a change of gear starting right away with the Monaco Grand Prix, his second home race, given that he lives just a few hundred metres from what, as from next Sunday, will be transformed into the paddock for the sixth round of the 2012 championship."
Massa's contract with Ferrari finishes at the end of the season, and his future with the team has become doubtful following speculation linking other drivers with a place in the Maranello team.
