Massa crossed the line fifth at Sochi Autodrom, just behind team-mate Valtteri Bottas, as both drivers continued their 100 per cent points-scoring record for the 2016 campaign.
Massa hopes the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will yield even more.
"It is a circuit that a good car overall normally goes well because you have a little bit of everything; high-speed corners and low-speed corners," the Brazilian said ahead of the event.
"If the car works well here, it will work well on most of the tracks.
"I'm looking forward to having a good race and hope we can keep improving race-by-race. To be able to fight for a podium would be great; we know it won't be easy but we will try everything."
Bottas is also optimistic over Williams' chances after its pre-season showing.
"Barcelona is probably the track I've driven the most in my life because all of the pre-season testing normally takes place there," added the Finnish racer.
"It is a nice event and there are plenty of fans, so it would be nice to have a good result there, especially because testing looked good for us there."
