Lets look at what happened on 19th June - one of the my most awaited vacations in this life time - F1 USGP.
Fiasco: 7 out of the 10 teams scheduled to race on 19th Jun 2005 withdrew from the race only after green flag lap, but not before pumping our adrenaline by the indescribable sound of F1 Engines.
Trouble: Ralf crashes out on his practice runs and so does his team mate. Michelin announces that the tyres are unsafe. The banking on turn 13 puts “unforeseen” pressure on the tyres - bursting them after sometime. Michelin advises its team to not run on them.
Proposed “Solutions” by Michelin: Build a Chicane on turn 1 reducing everybody’s speed
What does F1 say: ..|.. go flying!
What did we say?: What the Fuck is going on!?!
My thoughts: FIA was justifies in not allowing a chicane. As Mosley said
Suppose some time in the future we have five teams with engines from major car companies and seven independent teams with engines from a commercial engine builder (as in the past). Imagine the seven independent teams all have an oil surge problem in Turn 13 due to a basic design fault in their engines. They would simply be told to drop their revs or slow down. There would be no question of a chicane.
Anyways we had gone with a group of friends and we enjoyed. Schumacher Won, karthikeyan got some points :)
Sue the bastards at Michelin!
