Williams blame DRS for Massa’s crash

Williams have blamed a DRS issue for Felipe Massa’s crash in Friday’s first practice in Montreal.

Massa crashed heavily on Friday morning as he lost his Williams under braking into Turn 1.

The Brazilian told his pit wall over the radio: “I cancelled the DRS and pressed the brake, the rear locked completely.”

Williams have now confirmed that it was a DRS issue.

#FP1 DRS didn’t fully close causing @MassaFelipe19 to lose the rear wing under braking. Team investigating and working to fix car for #FP2
