I know it was a complete farce, but all I can see is that it was Michelin's fault, they had given the teams the wrong tyre for the race track. I mean one of the excuses was the 'diamond cut of the indy track' FFS Michelin Man, should you not have noticed that before sending out the teams on the feckin thing. It is a shame for the FIA etc, but really it's the piss poor by the big white blimp boy.
Put it like this, say lots of footie teams were set to play a few matches, they all have had to select what to wear on there feet, plus they know the condition of the pitch, lots of teams round out in mouldies and the pitch is a mud fest, the other teams who had decided on studs wouldnt say, ah sure we'll let ya change the rules, you can have studs even though you said you'd be wearing mouldies.
Screw them, it was a stupid mistake, it's just a case of Bridgestone teams finally getting an advantage by running a harder compound tyre. As for having a chicane at the end of the banked section of the track to slow down the top speeds, well hows about maybe the teams running the Michelin tyres just didnt drive as fast on that part of the track!!!! Stupid effers,
Not that I care as I dont watch it anymore, but I just think that it's Michelin's fault and thus no rule breaking could be applied just cause the majority of teams had them tyres.
