Felipe Massa says that Ferrari is making big enough strides forward for the car to be able to compete at the front of the field at the European Grand Prix.
"The car was much more competitive in Canada than in Turkey, which is a good basis on which to go to Valencia for the next race," Massa told the official Ferrari website.
"The street circuit there is not so different in terms of its characteristics to the Montreal track and on top of that, we expect to have some more updates for the F10 to make it even more competitive with those ahead of us in the championship."
Although Massa missed last year's race in Valencia with the serious head injury that kept him out for the rest of the season, he can draw confidence from winning there in 2008.
"Valencia has not produced very exciting races so far, but I enjoy the track, as the only time I have raced there, in 2008 - it was one of the races I missed last year after my accident - I won. It would be nice to think we could be in with a chance of doing the same again this time.
"With the unpredictable nature of this year's championship anything can happen and I am sure we can be in the fight for the top places come Sunday in Spain."
