Ferrari turned up with a set of tyres that worked, and beat everyone who wanted to race against them. If the Michelin teams chose not to race, that's their decision, their responsibility, and no one elses. Not Ferraris, not Bernie Ecclestone's: theirs.

One good thing about this is that next year we'll get to dump the tedious US GP and run a race in a country that actually cares about F1.
Going for a job interview and crashing a car at 200 mph into a wall, good analogy that. .
No one is denying that a mistake was made, but with a little common sense and a small change to the track the race could have gone ahead with all the cars. I just realised I said common sense, something in rather short supply in F1 ATM.
