well the fans are the big looser's here . but i have to agree with the fia they did the right think . i hold 2 fia licences and understand the ruling . why should the fia change the rules when your car is to slow or has mechanical woes. you dont see minardi complaining every race to get a rule change . ............merc oh its nice to see that champ car is going to honor tickets from the usgp to attend the race in cleveland
This is official press release:
on 5th april, Firestone had the chance of making private test on the new surface of the track. Same problem as Michelin had, tire were blowing up realy soon. So they decide to make stripe on track to help and 2 week later Firestone came back with new tire and all was fine, then the 500 was ok for the next race. But Firestone is a "branche" or "filiale" of Bridgstone... so did Bridgstone had dome info from Firestone that Michelin did not had access?
My opinion:
And why suddenly the Both tire company received a message on June 1st from F1 that theyr tire MUST be ok at all time for any reason at all... Strange 2 week before grand prix, they received a message and now FIA is using that message to let know to Michelin thats its their Problem from that letter... smell that some knew that this coud happend, and they let things go, close mouth, Bridgstone and Ferrari are sleeping toghetter and Bridgstone is US and Michelin is Euro, no? Haha alot of opportunity to kill a competitor company....
I still say that at basis its Michelin fault, ok, but to not take a good decision to let a good go on with bad facts in face, Thats FIA fault...
Sniff...Sniff....hey smells like conspiracy here doesn't it.Good point flow.
I read Nigel Mansells reply to the media today.I say...he's right...The ultimate blame falls on the FIA really.That letter you talk about sure sounds like a fishy one to me.Like they are trying hard to get rid of michelin and give ferrari the advantage again.If they all run bridgestones.Ferrari would win for sure as they are at a complete advantage with all they're "illegal"testing.I like what Schumacher said though."I probably would have won anyway"...What an insult.Give it up old man.Let Kimi or Alonso or someone young and talented take over.You just kill f1 attendance.Notice how the attendance was soooo good when michael S wasn't winning???...That says it all...
