I don't think there was an option to provide alternative Michelin tyres. I've read that Michelin looked into that, but as all their tyres relied on the same basic construction they were all likely to fail. It wasn't the compound, it was how they actually moulded them.

Simply put the only way there could have been a safe race was to slow all cars down on the bend. That needed a chicane. There wasn't agreement on that. F1 looses what credibility it had.

Touring cars and similar "lesser" classes are much more interesting.
