Hi.

Look at the section about Bridgestone having the wrong tyres in 2003.
What happened on Sunday was down to Bernie Ecclestone and friends. He has been talking about a 1 tyre supplier for the last couple of months, and Michelins mistake dropped into his lap along with the help of Ferrari.
Yes Michelin were at fault, but the race could have been run but the same thing happened as has happened before, 9 teams agree and one doesn't.
More damage has been done to F1 by running 6 cars than if the race had been declared void, let us not forget the free points that Ferrari got, sort of changes the whole championship now, maybe a sweetener for MS, especially as there has been talk about him quitting this year, what a nice Fathers day present from Bernie.
We have not heard the last of this and it brings the rival breakaway teams ever nearer, the F1A have only themselves to blame.
