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 disagree with being able to add a chicane to the course. It is dangerous and adds liability. If you were Ferrari and you were paying Shumaker that kind of money would you want the additional risk of him getting injured from an added chicane?

FWIW its been done before. Case in point the Belgian GP of 94'. They (the FIA) stuck a chicane halfway up Eau Rouge to "slow the cars down" after Senna's death.

If I recall, Senna's death occured on an early practice day. The chicane was built in time for all teams to learn the new curse configuration. It wasn't erected 2 hours before grid and in mid-turn, rather on a straight section with plenty of run-off.

I'm not siding with either side.

I am saying that we are hearing what either side WANTS us to hear.
