Massa perplexed by tyre problems

Felipe Massa blamed the set of tyres he used for his final Q2 attempt for failing to make the top 10 shoot-out in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. The Ferrari driver qualified 11th but will actually start 10th on the grid, thanks to Nico Hulkenberg's gearbox penalty. Nevertheless the Brazilian was convinced he and the car were capable of far more than that this weekend.
