Wow, all the Michelin cars may not run?

They are demanding a chicane? I guess MS wins hands down.

Wow...I was just watching...this is really, really bad.
Michelin ought to reimburse the 145,000 fans for travel and ticket costs, this is just a really bad joke. This track has been around for 6 years on the calendar now, and Michelin can't make a tire that will work?! This sucks, and I am sorry for all of the fans and drivers who can't see or put on a race today. A very sad day...it's just a tire-test for bridgestone now.


My biggest worry, though, is whether F1 will ever live this down and come back to America. I doubt they'll be able to come back to Indy, that's for sure, and Tony George must be livid.

In Michelin's defense, this was the first year the entire race has to be run on one set of tires. The tires for this season are totally different from previous years.
