opinions from you guys,loads of bad press over here, i was gutted
f1 fan since 1992,and cart and indy,hope it can recover.
thanks rob

 

it's pretty simple, Michelin didn't produce a suitable tire. Sucks to be them.

 

sorry didnt see the thread below(motorsports)

 

yea yesterday gave michelin a bad name lol. but it was a shame what the fans did i think. i would of been very disapointed to only see 6 cars race. but if u think of it from another view...the fans that were there could say, hey i was at the 2nd race ever where every car that started finished

 

great point

 

Well this is the culmination of corporate egos, poorly structured rules, and IMHO an idiot F1 president. (max moseley)

IIRC, the tire rule (no swapping) came out recently and when I quit watching F1, they enforced the less downforce rule, the "car can't be lower than this height" rule, the tires went from low profile to high profile, and the tires went to grooved tires... All to cut down the driviers speed... If they wanted to cut the speed that badly, they should've just cut the speed at the source. The motor. I'd like F1 to return to the late 80s where senna and prost (as well as mansell and piquet) were battling it out in mclaren hondas.

kinda funny huh? wasnt ferrari kinda saying that they were having pretty crapy race results because of bridgestone tires?

 

I was there, what a joke. Michelin and the 7 teams owe me $105.

 

did they offer any type of refund or maybe tickets to future events?

 

I believe CART offered free admission to their next race (in Ohio IIRC) to anyone with a USGP ticket stub.

But nothing official from FIA, F1 or anyone else.
