Anyone watching? Think its hillarious how something like this has came about due to lack of communication and stubborness on the FIA's account.

I blame the F.I.A. for ruining a good race & robbing fans of their money for seeing it.After all, what they should have done is put in the chicane as was suggested by Michelin.Then they should have decided what action to take after the race.
1.The fans who paid to watch would have had a race to watch.
2.F1 would have less egg on their face.
3.Teams could of run and used it as a test.
The F.I.A need to start policing F1 as a sport rather than a business, or F1 is going to die a slow death as the fans vote with their feet.

I don't think Michelin are to blame today because the tyres are not 100% safe on the fast corner, thats a side-effect of the sport being so scientific and critical that unforseen things like this mean that races don't run.
That said, the spectators would have had a race to watch if the FIA had have come up with something.

Bridgestone had the advantage of being involved in an american series that race there quite often, but the end result will be a 1 tyre manufacturer across the whole of f1 imo.

Cause Schumacher is fantastic Can't stand him! I think if any of the other drivers had the car he had for the last few years they would have a shoot load of World Titles to!
