Felipe Massa is confident he can win this year's World title despite trailing title rival Lewis Hamilton by seven points.

With a total of 30 points up for grabs, Massa's chances of winning were dealt a blow in Singapore when he dropped to seven points behind Hamilton as that deficit means the McLaren driver can bag the title without winning any of the remaining three races.

But despite being on the backfoot, Massa is determined not to give up, stating that anything can still happen in the final race to the chequered flag.

"As for the Championship it depends how you look at it: a seven point gap can be a lot or it can be a little," he said.

"If you look at what happened to me in Singapore where my gap went from one point to seven so suddenly, then you have to consider it could easily go the other way as well.

"The most important element to consider is that we have a very good car. Without that, my chances would be much smaller. We have two good cars and we can try and get both of us to finish ahead of our rivals.

"It can be done and we need to think positive and we need to keep fighting to the last race."
