Although Ferrari have made it clear that they will use the Jerez test to "collect data" and "experiment with different solutions", the fans will no doubt be a little disappointed that the F2012 has not come close to matching the times of the front-runners.
Massa managed a 1:22.815 on day one and followed it up with a 1:20.454 on Wednesday which earned him seventh place.
The Brazilian says they are struggling to understand the new car.
"It is a very new car, and it is not a car (like the one) we had in the last years," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"It is a car that needs a lot of work, and (there are) a lot of things to try. I did so many laps just trying different things in the car. It was a programme to understand every single point in the car set-up.
"It is more or less what we expected to do. We had to try so many things but it was more or less in the right direction."
