Michelin should have offered a refund of all the tickets. Ok, it would have cost them a few million quid, but to a company that size that would practically be petty cash and it would have at least helped mollify the ill-feeling a little.
The Indianapolis Speedway is telling people who want refunds they "should complain directly to Formula One's rulers and French tyre company Michelin".

Although that article also says: "Williams said Indianapolis promoter Tony George and Formula One commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone had both agreed to the chicane in a meeting with teams on Saturday night but FIA president Max Mosley had vetoed it.
"Bernie called (FIA race director) Charlie (Whiting) on Saturday night and said get on with it," said Williams, who pointed out several precedents including the 1994 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps."
