Marina Bay circuit is for the circus: Ferrari boss

Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo is a very unhappy man. After Ferrari's disastrous outing at the first F1 race held in Singapore, he will be looking to meet with other teams to discuss what he called an embarrassment for F1.

"This is humiliating for F1 and it is an aspect I want to talk about with the other teams in the next few weeks."

While the first ever night race continues to draw high praise from the fans, the drivers do not exactly share their sentiments.

Many drivers have complained about the bumpiness of the track off the racing line. This, coupled with the barriers, makes overtaking on the Marina Bay street circuit difficult.

Di Montezemolo did not mince his words when describing the track. "When we race on tracks which should be used for the circus, anything can happen," he quipped.

As reported earlier, Di Montezemolo had mentioned that street circuits, with their lack of overtaking opportunities, were not the way forward for the sport.

Meanwhile, McLaren's chief executive, Martin Whitmarsh, believes that events during the Singapore race will herald rule changes that relate to when pitting is allowed during safety car conditions.

One can only wonder: Would Mr. Di Montezemolo be singing a different tune if Ferrari had come away with a 1-2 finish?
