Massa supports FIA’s Eau Rouge DRS ban

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa says the DRS ban for the famous Eau Rouge corner is the ‘best solution’.

The FIA has opted to ban the use of the drag-reduction system through turns two-to-four citing safety as a concern.

The system decreases downforce and drag to provide a better top-speed, though many drivers expressed worry that it could result in a serious accident, including the Brazilian, if the corner was taken flat-out with the rear-wing in the open position.

“I have been following the discussion regarding the use of DRS at the Eau Rouge corner and I think banning its use there for the whole weekend is the right decision,” he wrote in his diary.

“As racing drivers, we would always try and use DRS there and that could lead to an accident, because of the particular nature of the corner. So, just as was the case in the tunnel in Monaco, I think this is the best solution.”

Meanwhile, Massa is hoping to repeat his 2008 success which saw victory handed to him after Lewis Hamilton was stripped of his win for cutting the final chicane after an intense battle with Kimi Raikkonen.

“I hope we can have a good weekend,” he added. “Like most drivers, I love driving at Spa and I have some good memories of winning there in 2008, finishing second the year before that, while last year I was just off the podium in fourth spot. I will be aiming for a repeat of 2008!”
