But Massa insists it remains early days and is reading nothing into the car's pace.
"I'm pleased. I was able to run continuously, without losing any valuable time," he told Ferrari's official website.
"It doesn't mean anything, because we don't know what time the other drivers were running." A total of 12 drivers took to the track on the first of four days' action in southern Spain. The new McLaren saw Lewis Hamilton taking the MP4-26 to fifth place on its maiden outing. But it was the Ferrari which looked at home.
Massa's best time of one minute 20.709 seconds was over seven tenths of a second quicker than Sauber's Sergio Perez.
