ESPN Dan Knutson Summary
More of the same, but a nice summary. I'm adding it because it's actually on ESPN.com.
BTW, I like reading Knutson's stuff, but there doesn't seem to be enough of it on ESPN.

As the dust begins to settle on what was the farce of the United States Grand Prix, it's time to look at some of the many angles surrounding the debacle.
Who is to blame No. 1: Michelin. Turn 1 of the oval at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been there since 1909. It's Turn 13 of the Indy F1 road circuit and it's been used since the first Grand Prix there in 2000. Michelin returned to F1 in 2001, so this was the tire company's fifth time at the track. Bridgestone managed to bring the correct tires to deal with the rigors of the turn. There were support races
