Felipe Massa, who finished 8th, was disqualified from the grand prix after one of the tyres was over the minimum tread temperature. The right rear tyre was 27 degrees over the minimum of 110. It was also found to be 0.1 psi greater than permitted. Therefore, he has been disqualified from the results.
Massa said: “To be honest I have no idea what’s happened….Everything I did it was normal compared to other races – even my start was not good so anything was really different than what I had.”
