If that is true, Ferrari is as fast as Sauber, Toro Rosso and a bounch of mid-field teams because all of them were able to set a 1.21.6-1.21.8, and Massa was only capable of a 1.22.0... I really doubt that.
I definetely think Ferrari had something more. Alonso did a few 5-6 lap stints at low 1.22s, I find difficult to believe that in a 1 fast lap he could only do a 1.21.6.
Again, reading testing times is veeeeeery dificult.
