Massa - warming tyres for start will be critical

Massa - warming tyres for start will be critical

11 May 2008

With cooler than usual conditions at this year's Turkish Grand Prix, pole-sitter and Istanbul circuit expert Felipe Massa says that getting the tyres warmed up properly on the way to the grid will be critical.

"The temperature is pretty low compared to what we're used to having here in the past but it's the same for everybody and you just need to make sure you warm up the tyres in the right way before going to the grid and also making the right choice of tyres, in order not to lose any grip but also to try to use the best tyres at the right time," Massa said. 

"The difference between the hard and the soft here is not so big, so it's important to chose the right one," he added.
