Anyone else a F1 watcher? What a fiasco. The bloody idiots at FIA.
I'd like to see it almost anywhere but Indy.
...lew...



Yeah I saw it......too many faults to blame any single entity but the
entire shooting match from FIA through the F1 'overlords' (Ecclestone &
Moseley), Clerks of the Course and Michelin should all take some flak.

Undoubtedly the tires were 'unsafe' to run but something could and
should have been done to put on a race for the fee paying fans instead
of a six car 'parade'.

Unfortunately the statement from the FIA about Michelin 'should have
known better and brought the correct tires to the race' is garbage as
they were allegedly denied access to the track for testing purposes
after the resurfacing work was carried out and Bridgestone had all the
race data from their sister company to work with after the recent Indy
500 race. Unfair by anyone's standards!

It was just a good job there was all that fencing (metal content) around
the course otherwise it might have turned really nasty with disgruntled
fans storming the track!
