Felipe Massa is confident Williams can be in the mix for second place behind Mercedes during the early stages of the 2014 campaign.
Mercedes carried their winter testing form over to the first race of the campaign in Australia with Lewis Hamilton claiming pole position and Nico Rosberg winning the grand prix.
Williams, though, also proved their win pre-season form was no fluke as both cars made it into Q3 while Valtteri Bottas finished the race in fifth despite suffering a puncture after kissing the wall during the early stages.
