Question is who to believe? Michelin would of course jump at the chance to be exonerated, and they were not clear on what issues the other teams may have been experiencing with their tires at Indianapolis. Certainly the reporting this morning was not definitive on what the other teams were seeing with their tires. The quote concerning the other teams fairing well if they went out was by Michelin, so also very suspect. Analysis of the tires from the incidents with the Toyotas did not lead all the F1 officials, teams, nor Michelin to blame the Toyota chasis for the failures, now they are saying because the next race we see the Williams cars cutting tires with their wings that must be the issue? Would Toyota keep that info to themselves, duping the other teams to join them in a "pit-out"? I find that scenario unlikely...


Any way you slice it, the US GP this year was a fiasco unworthy of the sport.

In other news - exciting race this weekend! Nobody spill the beans before everyone else has a chance to watch...
