New teams could be dangerous this season says Massa
|
07 March 2010 @ 06:20 GMT - Charles Cooper Ferrari's Felipe Massa has criticised the new teams joining F1 this season and says their slow pace is bad for the sport and could be a danger to the leaders. The Italian squad has also criticised the way the new entries was handled. Massa is worried about the slow pace of the new teams and the effect it will have on races this season. "I hope they won't be a danger," said Massa. "There are six/seven teams one second apart while those teams are four seconds behind. It's not good for the sport and not good for them: it's like two different series. They'll suffer. And we'll suffer too, when we have them in front of us during qualifying," he said. The new Virgin Racing and Lotus Racing teams were more than four seconds off the pace during pre-season testing and that remains a concern. The FIA might have to implement the 107% rule again to prevent slow cars from taking part in a race. HRT has not even turned a wheel and its pace is unknown at the moment. |
