This incident reminds me of the NASCAR tire wars a few years ago. Hoosier offered a tire that was much faster than the Goodyears everyone was using. This forced Goodyear to come up with a faster but less reliable compound. Hoosier responded with a less reliable tire of their own. After several crashes and at least one death,(Neil Bonnet, my favorite driver at that time) NASCAR eventually decided to give Goodyear exclusive rights.
As long as there is competition manufacturers will push the limits and sometimes go over. I'm sure there was a better way to handle yesterdays' problem, but at least no one died. |
