23-year-old Sebastian Vettel admitted the issue could be a concern at circuits where spectators sit close to the action, "Imagine Singapore or Monaco, where a fan could suddenly find a piece of tire in his tea."
Paul Hembery added: "There was a lot of overtaking though. We will have to analyse all the overtaking manoeuvres but the marbles have to go somewhere and that is a difficulty for us."
Lotus Renault driver Vitaly Petrov thinks that rubber marbles on the track may have contributed to his spectacular exit on the Malaysian Grand Prix. Seventh with four laps to go, the Russian ran wide at Turn 8 and trying to power back onto the track he hit a bump in the grass that launched him high into the air and broke a steering column mount.
Vitaly Petrov thinks that a chunk of rubber marble may have contributed to the fact he couldn't control the car anymore.
