Not sure if it will affect Michelin, but it is devastating for the Sport of Formula One in the
USA...

Very sad that the FIA wouldn't  allow the track change... The Teams affected where even willing to
drop the points gained so they could put on a race for the crowd...

Surely this is better than a 6 car race..

why would Michelin And Teams driving on them have privilegies?! when
bridgstone had problems did you see them running to fia for track
change or any team driving on them? NO ... so it's theyr fault not the
FIAs for the problems, they had enough time to prepare...

I agree they should of had it sorted out, but the teams affected just wanted to put a show on for
the crowd..
The points result would of stayed the same anyway ! Michelin teams would of got no points..

At least this way there would of been 20 cars on track instead of six...

No it would not be good cose Michelin  can't be the company that will
tell change track.. what would happend next time.. the same.... if
there is first time there is always next time.. so for that kind of
thing you have to stop it right away...  let Michelin  pay for it's
mistakes... they think they can change things as they want? ... they
put presure on the teams that drive on theyr tyres .. it's not how
things should be done...
