Did anyone see Massa lock up his brakes halfway to the first corner at Spa?It was such a strange thing because he was all by himself in the middle of the track with no one in front of him, and a long way to the braking zone.I've watched it several times on video and still cant work it out.It's absolutely clear that its tire smoke -brief but solid puffs of white smoke from at least the front tires (and maybe all four).

Did he do something wrong?Did the car go crazy for a split second?Can badly bedded pads do this? I couldnt find any reports on the f1 news sites.Several reports tells of him having a slow car until they found a piece of hamiltons tire stuck under his chassis,but no complaints of brake issues.

Odd

It seems odd, for sure, but he's had so many first corner/lap incidents this year that I'm beginning to think that it's not just coincidence. Methinks he may have the first lap yips.
