Indian GP: Massa retires as Vettel still in lead

Felipe Massa admits that he is concerned that Ferrari could struggle with the hard compound tyres being taken to India this weekend by Pirelli for the inaugural Indian Grand Prix.

Ferrari struggled on the hard compound tyre earlier in the season, with Massa in particular enduring a tough time trying to get the best out of the tyres when they were used in the first half of the season.

The fact that India will be a step into the unknown means Pirelli has been somewhat conservative with its selection for the first race at the Buddh International Circuit and Massa said he hoped Ferrari didn't suffer from the same problems it had faced earlier in the year.Ferrari's Massa failed to complete the inaugural Indian GP after his collision with Hamilton as Vettel continued to lead the race after the completion of 48 laps.

Reigning Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel pits out of the lead to take on soft tyres. He came out still in first place to lead the race.

At Lap 24, all went wrong for Hamilton and Massa as they came together. Hamilton had a run alongside Massa going into the corner but Massa turned in on him resulting in a collision. Hamilton took a pit stop for a new front wing while Massa continued.
