Michellin bears full responsibility for what happened today.
The tire problems were on Friday. They notified the teams at 6:30 this morning that the tires might be unsafe, then they proposed changes to the FIA so that their teams could compete...give me a break! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) It's the team's (and their vendors) responsibility to provide safe, effective gear. If the tires aren't safe it's not the FIA's responsibility to change the race course so that the inferior product will last. My take on what Michellin has done is this: "Hey let's make the lightest tire we can make so our teams will go faster" no problem there....they just went too far and their tires were failing where the sidewall met the belts for the treaded area. Bridgestone did their homework...why should they or their teams be penalized? Why should the FIA have to change the race and/or race course? For once, I agree with the FIA, it did the right thing. I would have liked to watch a real race, but I would have been pissed if they made the proposed changes just to suit poor tire construction of one supplier. |
