Ferrari are going to be even more popular than they already are in terms of sporting good will. -
wtf, this is nothing to do with Ferrari... michelin runners had the option to race and race conservatively to protect the tyres, but they didn't want the competitive disadvantage. That was the FIAs view and it's quite right.Comment

It's a Sony funded advertisement for the PS3. You know 'our console is more real than real life' ****, so much so, it holds the power to change the events of actual races. That's why Sony are trying to ban PSP imports in the UK... they plan to buy all the available stock up themselves so they can daisy chain them together to power this act of will...Originally posted by DarwockWow, Sony must have paid a lot of money to get F1 to make itself more like GT4!
Kind of like how they claimed China, Iraq and the like were apparently using PS2s to power their nuclear arsenals five years ago.Comment

I'm sure a Bridgestone shod car would love to come across a Michelin shod car doing 80-100MPH less through the final turn...Originally posted by Darwock

I'm merely quoting a site. I don't think anyone can say Ferrari aren't eagerly taking advantage of this. The race shouldn't have gone ahead... it should have been rescheduled and people should have been refunded.Originally posted by DarwockComment

Well no, Mitchelin would not let them gop out if they were not to race at full pelt.
This could have been avoided if Ferrari had agreed but why should they, they have practiced without a chicane and dont want to change the whole feel of the track.
Who to blame? Mitchelin 100%
Ban them for the season and put everyone on Bridgestones.

I'm sure that none of the Michelin runners who had to back off would intentionally do so *on the racing line* in order to cause an accident...Comment

The American responses have been more entertaining than the race itself for the most part. F1 has well and truly shot itself in the head.Comment

While I still watch it infrequently, F1's been **** for years.
Last season I remember enjoying was when villeneuve won for Williams, like 8 years ago.Comment

LOL, Ferraris came within a whisker of taking each other out as Shuey came out of the pathetic pit lane, luckily Ruebens went on the grass or Ferrari would have looked ****ing stupid.Comment

Heh. The cynicism in the ITV commentry on that moment is great.Comment

i cant wait for the podiumComment

Or the press conference afterwards...Comment

That was a ****ed up situation. I myself couldn't think of an perfect solution. But is does raise many questions.
Still, if it means we lose the USA GP I wont lose any sleep, course Sir David Coulthard wanted to race.
My only gripe was that Michael and Ruebens should have at least sprayed a bit of champers over Monteiro (sp).Comment

Im quite supprised by this to say the least.
Michellin should of told the FIA sooner with what was happening and they should of responded. Max mosley knew what was happening over practise and into qualifying. The FIA did nothing.
It's a joint problem between the Michellin and the FIA. Telling teams that their tyre is unsafe on race weekend? Not pulling all of your members together and getting a resolve or compremising the race track for safety? That's not on.
However it was for satey reasons and Im glad that no one would of been hurt. It should of not got to this though.
