Massa excluded from Brazilian Grand Prix

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian Felipe Massa was excluded from his home Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday after his Williams car was found to have an overheated rear tire before the start. The former race winner had finished in eighth place at Interlagos. Checks on the grid before the start revealed that his right-rear tire tread was 27 degrees celsius above the maximum temperature allowed by Pirelli. Massa's exclusion promoted Lotus's Romain Grosjean to eighth, with Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen mov
