New facts regarding the F1 race in Indianapolis say that Michelin actually was able to use the modified tires (GB:tyres) IF they were prepared to answer a hefty fine for doing so. Background: the new F1 rules only allowes 2 tire "recipies" per race and both compositions that Michelin brought to the Indi race were defective in a way that they could not withstand the top speed in the steep bank.
So Michelin could simply have paid the fine and started with different tires but they preferred to make illegal suggestions (build a chicane, an obstacle to slow down the cars before they entered the top speed area) which were not conform with the F1 rules. Then they and their client teams decided to ruin the race. Now they all face claims for damage by the sponsors, fans, event organizers, FIA - F1 association etc. -- I hope they have to pay MUCH more than the tyre-change fine  .I mean, they also could have instructed the drivers to slow down "manually", it would still have been a race. Anyway -- let's concentrate on the run for the WCG crown, was adding more machines today to ride down TW soon... Best regards, Stefan (from sunny Germany -- too hot today  ). |
