Felipe Massa is expecting a competitive showing from McLaren at next weekend's British Grand Prix.

Ferrari had the better of McLaren at the last race in France where the Scuderia clinched the one-two while McLaren's race was undone by three different penalties.

That French domination gives Ferrari the psychological advantage going to Silverstone, however, Massa has warned the Italian outfit to expect a better showing from McLaren at their home race.

"We pretty much did all of what we had set out to do and the first signs are encouraging. We are working in the right direction and I think we will also be competitive at this track," said the Brazilian.

"At Magny-Cours, we didn't see the real performance from McLaren in the race as they were always blocked in traffic, but for sure, they can be a lot more competitive here.

"We are at least heading in the right direction. Let's hope we are doing so more than them."

Massa is currently leading the drivers' standings with a two-point advantage over Robert Kubica.
