Ferrari to look into pitstop system

Felipe Massa lost all his chances of victory when he got the green light to get moving during his first pitstop when the fuel hose was still attached to the car.

Massa ripped off the hose and knocked down his mechanics before stopping at the end of the pitlane to get the hose detached.

For the second pitstop Ferrari reverted to the traditional lollipop, although the problem had been caused by a human error.

"Unfortunately there was a mistake," said Domenicali. "It was not an electronic system, it was run manually, because normally in that condition when there are a lot of cars coming in that safety car situation.

"It is better to have like a lollipop but instead of a lollipop you control the green light and unfortunately there was a mistake.

"We will analyse what we did in the other pitstop... because it was a tense moment. Again a guy was knocked down, he's OK, no problem at all, but it's a very tense moment.

"So we preferred not to use (the system) for the other pitstop because we wanted to give a sign of less tension because it's a system that is trying to give as good performance as possible. That's the reason why we didn't use it for the others."

Domenicali said, however, that the problem could also have happened with the lollipop.

"When you see a green light to go, that means that you have to go. It doesn't matter. The green was on because he had to go. If we didn't have the traffic light, we would have had the lollipop up. In that respect it didn't change the specific scenario that we have today."
