MY GOD did anyone see what happened. The USGP started SIX CARS. All Michilin tired cars took a warm up lap then parked.

Probably the death of a USGP for a few years.



Sheesh and some people say that the SCCA and NASCRAP is a political mess.....

I don't see why all the people are coming down so hard on Michelien....YES, the BLEW IT big time and screwed their teams by supplying bad tires, but they DID offer up SEVERAL compromises to give the fans what they paid for. Think about it...with the foreign interest in F1, there was A TON of people who spent thousands and thousands of $$$$'s to get there from places like Brazil, Canada, Columbia, you name it....F1 just screwed them as well....HARD CORE F1 fans...

THERE WAS NO REASON A COMPROMISE COULD NOT/SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE!

The whole screw you flavor to the thing REAKS of why F1 is never gonna grow very much. Eclstone doesn't even have the balls to stick around and explain his/FIA's decision????? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Until the FIA and Eclstone are GONE, or get a better attitude, or learn some product marketing skills, which will NEVER happen as Eclstone thinks he S%$TS gold, F1 is doomed to repeat this kind of crap.....some call F1 the pinacle of racing...I haven't for years because of just this type of political bull$%$T...makes NASCAR look like a "reputable" sport....

Michelin surely deserves blame here...but the FIA and Eclstone are the culprits here for basically CARING NOTHING about the hundreds of thousands of fans at the race, the thousands of support folks at the race, and the MILLIONS of viewers around the world...let's hope the F1 fan world has the guts to say "SCREW YOU" back to Eclstone and the FIA and cut attendance by a significant amount the last races of the season...THIS is the ONLY way to get Eclstone and the FIA to listen/be held accountable for their whole supremist attitude....

Sorry for the rant, I just am so tired of F1 and the circus atmosphere and hearing all the BS about how great F1 is...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
