Massa is slow in comparison because he is as good as a driver that has beat Alonso? It is more to do with Massa heavily underperforming in the car than Alonso outperforming it. Massa had quite big problems with balance and that affects confidence so if he can get the car to work for him like Alonso is currently doing, the gap between them will close up quite quickly. It remains to be seen how well he will do, main time to watch how well he is doing would be after the potential big upgrade coming soon. It is not like Massa thinks he is getting everything out the car and then still getting outpaced, he couldn't hook up a lap in qualifying last race due to balance problems and that showed in his race pace.
What Massa thinks is irrelevant. What he can get out of equal machinery is what matters, and the fact is that he is nowhere near Alonso at the moment, nor has he been since they were paired up at Ferrari.
