Yeah, Max will be in full tyrant mode tomorrow but he is somewhat limited in his options. What's he gonna do? Exclude everyone who pulled in at Indy? And do this again? Hee hee! And adding seconds to everyone is pretty much pointless since it is only Ferrari that matters and they will largely be passed in the opening laps while their Bridgestones are still off. So it is either a loss of points or a fine. I am betting fine, but if points, then I hope the SOB does the stand up thing and make it manufacturers'points and not the drivers'.
Honestly, I have followed this story and the background through various countries and I think Michelin is the only one blameless here. They fucked up with the tires but I can't blame them for making a mistake. (Note though they do not test here though.) And they were stand up and told the teams the tires were unsafe. Good for them. So the teams could not run them safely (the FIA wouldn't allow the chicane and running 85 mph slower is itself unsafe), Ferrari was NOT stand up and objected to the chicane (as was their right, obviously) and the FIA stuck to their rules. What a bitch. For what Ferrari has taken from the sport (n.b., not "given", they have taken a hell of a lot more than they have given) they were awfully short cited, esp in their largest market. And the FIA is simply too stupid (or sucking up to Ferrari too much?) to utilize any common sense and consider the business development of F1. I mean, do they think there is more potential for F1 in the middle east or the US? Idiots. Man, I am glad I went to see Canada and not the US. |
