Formula 1 race may be pretty weird today!
 

Michelin will not allow its seven Formula One teams race in the US Grand Prix today. This was announced by Michelin today in response of the FIA statement. The FIA refused to allow Michelin to use different tyres or to create a chicane in the final corner.

It means that Renault, McLaren, Williams, Toyota, Sauber, Red Bull and BAR will not be racing in the F1's ninth round. It is still unclear what will happen and if the race will get underway with only six cars (Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi).

:Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

The program starts in about a minute here, it will be great whatever happens

The FIA has rejected Michelin?s suggestion that a temporary chicane should be constructed at Indianapolis? Turn 13 to alleviate the company?s tyre problems.

FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting wrote to Michelin this morning effectively informing the tyre manufacturer that its Indianapolis dramas were down to the shortcomings of its tyre design, and that fixing the problem was not, therefore, the responsibility of the governing body.

Cool, time to switch on the TV! :thumbsup

That God Minardi runs on Bridgestones!! That would be cool to see them on the podium for a change!

About 55-minutes to race time!

:thumbsup

Hey that's a great way to market to the largest auto consumer marketplace on this planet.. Way to go Michelin!

I dont see it on TV. What channel?

Speed Vision channel 32 here

ya what the hell its not on speed like it normally is.


nevermind, it is :)

Ah, I dont get that channel.

fuck, its kinda good watching with only 6 cars, seems quicker

this is more like watching qualifying than watching a race

the stands are almost empty now. I hope everyone that bought tickets, demands a refund

classic race looool

Basically Michelin are going to lose their contract for next year.....in which speculations are that Only Tyre manufacturer will prevail for all the cars in F1.

So then Ferrari would dominate again :thumbsup
