[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 115375, member: 177511"] F1 was the reason I set up a satellite system all those years ago for Eurosport when they had the coverage and were FTA. Feel sorry for the spectators - including the TV viewers. Rules are rules and I agree with Ferrari why change them because a certain make of tyre doesn't work. Michelin should have known the condition of the track - that's their job! From my understanding the problem was the fast corner (turn 13) where they wanted a chicane built - why - to slow the cars down. Why slow ALL the cars down when the Ferrari's could cope with the track? It's an Indi track, you can overtake on the corners! They could have raced but the Michelin teams would have to have slowed down round that corner. In the end money was the reason the 'race' went ahead - you don't need to refund people if they had a 'race' to watch. Don't think we've heard the end of this by a long shot - so no US race - no great loss. Maybe Bernie will refund everyone from his own pocket - he's made enough from the sport. IMHO [/QUOTE]
