Sun, 19 June 2005 18:38 Bloody ridiculous, i'm watching it at the moment and its just stupid. in an interview with Paul Stoddart, even he doesnt agree with the decision. his team will benefit greatly from this but even he isnt enthused to stand outside on the pit wall. The Formuala one might be a car race, but ultimately it is an entertainment sport, and the FIA's decision to treat this matter as such only impacts the sport further. Already there is negative feedback over the changes they have made this year, but this one must be the worst one to date. I'm annoyed, but i feel for those who acutally bought a ticket to the event. How cheated would you feel. Disgruntled.... bloody FIA (not to mention Ferrari standing by the decision ) edit... For all those that arent sure what has happened, Michelin Tyres were unable to withstand the final corner and hence in practice, several tyres had failed and in toyota's case, the cars flying off. This was due to the big sweeping final corner which is banked at 9 Degrees and the straight right after. this bend caused the tyre to heat up and the sidewall couldnt cope. it also had the problem where by it wanted to fold under itself. (this is a brief summary from what the commentators have said) They have also said that Bridgestone has been able to produce a tyre for this race as its other company Firestone, which had its tyres out on the track recently (i think it was for the indy race correct me if i'm wrong) and they passed the information from that race onto Bridgestone. so in effect bridgestone gained inside information about the newly resurfaced track. how come the FIA doesnt crack down on this. What happened to a level playing field? Had Bridgestone not gained the above knowledge in regards to the track and its effects on tyre's then they too might possibly have encountered similar problems as Michelin. I wonder what the FIA would have done then? not let any cars run at all? ps. who things ferrari will use team orders at the end? [Updated on: Sun, 19 June 2005 18:46] [Report message to a moderator]
