The FIA said that penality for USA GP acting, was from simple warning to banish for life from F1, pffff!! they dont have guts to do it... FIA on other hand wednesday said that those not racing team ruined the image of F1 for ever, hahahaha, to be discuss...

In other side, Minardi, Paul Stodard said that some team coud not show up for next race if penality were to hard or too expensive... hahaha a real soap to be watch on next GP,

pfff,

in german tv was a fun-stockcar-challenge and christian klien should also run there.

a day before the race they said in press that berny told christian not to run or he will loose his f1-license.

of course in tv he said something like he has to concentrate mainly on his formula 1 races.

if my informations are right the organizer of the USA GB accuse berny because not all cars started for the GB.

sounds a bit stupid to give the cars for the next GB penalties for not to run.

... have fun!

Michelin is preparing the way to get out of situation... they admit having problem and it was theyr fault if the tire was not enough tuff for the USA track. They said that no track have same banking to make test, that why they didnt have good tire, and they did not found any mistake in fabrication, just not hard enought to tuff.

Check this, now tey ask to make private test on the track for next year race... and we know that Firestone did testing and Bridgstone had those test info... and not Michelin. Nest thing will heard from Michelin is that Bridgstone was advantage and didnt told about the incoming problem, so the ball will be in Bridgstone side for not communicating essential info on the new pavement of the usa track, hehe thats my opinion, il check news in future, haha just to see..

I like the press comment of Michelin here, i got it from Michelin web site...

"2005 United States Formula 1 Grand Prix, Indianapolis

Straight talk and a sincere gesture for the American spectators:
It could have been an exciting race

One week after the Indianapolis Grand Prix, Michelin wishes to make a sincere gesture of goodwill towards the people present at the GP, a group whose passion for F1 is encouraging in the development of this sport in the United States.

Therefore, on our own initiative and in total solidarity with our partners, we have taken two decisions:

1. Michelin has decided to contribute to the costs incurred by the spectators present at the circuit on Sunday June 19th 2005 by offering to refund their tickets. This is an important decision, since Michelin is not at all legally bound to do this.

Michelin deeply regrets that the public was deprived of an exciting race and therefore wishes to be the first, among the different groups involved in the Indianapolis race, to make a strong gesture towards the spectators.

2. Michelin also offers to buy 20,000 tickets for the 2006 U.S. Grand Prix to be given to spectators who were present at the Indianapolis race in 2005. We are offering this to promote further Formula 1 interest in the United States.

We would also like to take this opportunity to underline the fact that it is unacceptable that our partner teams have been accused by the FIA of having boycotted the Indianapolis Grand Prix. The reality is that together, Michelin and its partners have done everything possible to assure that the race could take place in total safety.

We are extremely disappointed that the proposals made with all our teams were not accepted. These proposals, including a chicane, were technically viable and totally met all safety requirements. On Sunday morning, June 19, the sporting authority had all the means necessary to preserve the interest of the race.

And yet, the sporting authority rejected the proposed solutions. Why? In our view this is totally incomprehensible and reflects a lack of respect for the spectators.

It is the spirit of respect for the spectators that brought us, with our partners, to propose solutions to allow the race to take place in total safety. It is this same spirit that leads us today to make this gesture."
