Felipe Massa continued to show no effects from the life-threatening injuries sustained last year as the Ferrari driver led Formula One testing on Tuesday.

Massa clocked a best lap of 1 minute, 11.722 seconds around Valencia’s Cheste circuit to lead Sauber’s Kamui Kobayashi by just over three-tenths of a second after the morning session.

Lewis Hamilton’s first spin in his new McLaren left him third best with a lap of 1:12.508.

Nico Rosberg of Mercedes GP and Williams driver Rubens Barrichello were next, with Renault’s Robert Kubica and Sebastien Buemi of Toro Rosso completing the field.

Massa was fastest in the season’s first session on Monday, which marked the Brazilian’s first drive since a freak crash at Hungary in July.
