F1: Felipe Massa beaches his Ferrari in the gravel trap (photo)

3-3-2009

Poor weather hindered Formula 1 testing at Jerez de la Frontera again today, as rain hit the third day of work at the Spanish circuit.

In these treacherous conditions, Brazilian Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa lost control of his Ferrari F60 under braking and spun it into the gravel trap (photo).

Drivers have to be content with the lower levels of downforce imposed by the FIA for the 2009 season, making the car more difficult to control in the wet.
