  • 100% michelins fault. they have to bring tires safe to race, if they built a chicane, the bridgestone-teams would have had a disadventage for having too hard tires.

    fuck michelin, hope they never come back.

  • What could have stopped a Michelin runner starting, and just pitting every 10laps, and then taking the subsequent drive through?

see all

  • i was sooo ashamed as a finn,.. thats a money back situation x10 to crowd for letting em down.

    i wouldnt be even satisfied for just to get my money back cuz of all the waiting and arrangements getting to watch the "race".

  • The day we see a 1 car race.

  • wtf only 6 cars only?

  • hahahha what a funny :D

  • ferrari, jordan and minardi the perfect trio

  • @MrBrandonRTR building on to what i wrote, FIA could have let them use the tires and prevented this but didn't. look what happened to nascar in 2008 at IndyMotorSpeedway. the same exact thing. tires where shredding due to the track surface so the entire field had to pit every 10-12 laps to prevent high speed blowouts. not entirely the tire manufacturers fault.

  • bridgestone is basically the same company as firestone. firestone made tires for indycar and had information about the track surface and made a tire compound accordingly. because the track surface being diamond cut, michelin did not know that their tires would shred. michelin made new tires and had them shipped from europe but the FIA would not let michelin use them because they didn't bring them to the track when they arrived on the previous thursday, which was against regulations.

  • @Wibbahh :D No you, should look for vintage Bridgestone tires from 2005.
