Hi,
I fully understand the legal ramifications - especially in the USA. If this had been in another country perhaps the race would of been run will all contenders.
It is for the same legal ramifications that the FIA did not want to put in a chicane, due to the extra work, safety issues and other concerns. The track would have to checked and the cars would all have to go out and retune their suspensions and setups, and I doubt that could all be properly achieved in a day.
The proposal of a chicane was between Michelin and the FIA. It wasn't offered to the teams. The FIA shitcanned that idea without going to the teams for their approval or disapproval.
From what I've read on the F1 sites, the discussions the teams had was basically that if the Mich runners can't get things changed to allow them to run then they should all boycott the race. Ferrari did not want to do that. If Ferrari did boycott the race with all the other teams then there'd be no race at all 'cos I doubt the FIA would back down.
I have no idea how the FIA was going to police the speeds of Mich cars into turn 12/13. It was an offer they put on the table and it was rejected. I agree totally with you in regards to someone blowing a tyre and getting into the legal mess of the USA. Possibly Mich declined that offer as you mentioned in regards to not being able to control the teams.
The FIA needs to have a long hard look at its rules and regulations and needs to come up with something that allows the rare and inevitable occurances like this to be avoided, or specialised rules to permit a race to go ahead.
In the end, the race was a farce, an embarrasment and makes the F1 look very stupid and shows little regard for the huge fan base it has.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meetings that must be going on right now in the FIA. I want to see all the cars race, but unfortunately this will turn into a legal quadmire and further diminish the sport.
