Well guys I was at the GP all weekend and let me tell you the race was a great dissapointment. Most of the crowd left in disgust before the race was 30 laps in. Even lots of ferrari fans. I talked to tons of people. It was ridiculous for anyone to even try to call that a race.
I think the FIA screwed the pooch here. They should have came to some compromise with the teams, whatever it took. Reguardless of rules or whatever, F1 would not exists without the fans. However I don't think the drivers should uneccisarily be required to endanger thier life with a faulty part, when a better one exists and is available. Safety should be number one. Period. Now this will negativly impact all the mometum they had going in america. What we heard at the track was that the root cause of the original problem was the re-surfacing of the track. It was a drastically different surface than before apparently. We also heard that Bridgestone had already fixed the problem that michelin had becuase they already ran into the same issue with their firestone tires during the Indy 500. In my opinion Ferrari should have stopped running with the rest of the teams as a professional courtesy. It was a great collection of points they recieved, but it was not earned through competition. |
