I'd like to hear opinions about the debacle last week at Indianapolis. Here's my opinion.
Michelin is to blame for failing to provide proper equipment despite 5 years of engineering experience at the track. FIA handled the situation correctly by not letting Michelin off the hook. If FIA didn't take the position they did, Michelin and every other supplier would be pushing the envelope in coming years and then look to get "taken off the hook" every time they miscalculated. We'd get last minute chicanes (which are dangerous)and/or some cars not racing for points (which isn't fair to fans) and/or who knows what. Although Sunday was a black day for F1, it averted many more black days in the future.
