Ferrari’s Felipe Massa says there should have been proper high-speed kerbs where he went off in today’s qualifying at the Buddh Circuit, putting him out of contention with a broken suspension. He said the ‘sausage’ kerbs currently present on few parts of the track aren’t suitable - “high speed corners need high speed kerbs”, he said, referring to the kerb height,“and I think I will recommend that these are changed for next year’s race”. 

The Brazilian however was quite happy with the extra stability provided by the new front wing the team used here and that he was looking forward to 2012 season hoping that he would be more competitive from the get-go.
