they brought a new tyre out for Sunday but basically it was made in the same way and so had the same problem
As for the FIA's idea that 14 cars should go through turn 13 slowly that was totally ludicrous and that's from the governing body who are supposed to be there for safety.
As far as I can tell there were 2 solutions.. install a chicane, unfair to Birdgestone, unless the Michelin runnings didn't score points
Run the race at a later date
What would have been ironic would have been if a Bridgestone car had a tye problem during the race.. thankfully no one was injured during the weekend which should be the most import thing
