Oh dear, not the best of adverts for F1. Guess we'll have to wait for the official statements before knowing exactly who said what.

One thing's for sure, michelin don't have long left in f1. Then we'll be back on an even tyre field.

i think its good that theres different tyre manufacturers in F1. its a real shame that firestone gave bridgestone important information (and an unfair advantage against michelin), about the new diamond cut surface and its effects on tyres in indianappolis.

I agree, where's Pirelli and Goodyear when you need them?
Firesone own Bridgestone, why wouldn't they share information?
If they hadn't, Bridgesone would be in breach of it's tyre supply contract now, just like Michelin.
It's Michelin's job to know these things; heads will roll, make no mistake about that.
Much of the crowd stayed to watch the race. I bet they are now all queing for refunds. One man interviewed spent 2 months wages to travel to the track and buy the tickets.

All fingers are still pointing at ferrari as the only team not to agree, but also f1 bosses(mainly max) who blamed michelin for being stupid enough to only bring one set of tyres. Which is fair enough.

Hey some credit where credits due - good work Bridgestone!
Bridgestone's USA Grand Prix tyre must be the best tyre in history. Here's why:
A Indy Car Travels the oval at higher speed but does not need to cope with first gear corners in the infield. Therefore it doesn't require the high downforce of an F1 car. High downforce means increased load on the tyre sidewalls - a F1 car weighs 600kg when stationary but 3 times that at 300kph. Add in the rediculous '1 set of tyres per race' rule and the new abrasive Diamond-cut surface and it's no wonder an ordinary tyre from Michelin couldn't cope. The sidewalls on the Left Rear kept failing on the highest speed corner.
Bridgestone have been getting a hard time from Ferrari fans of late, now I reckon thier reputation is looking pretty good!

if every team but ferrari agreed they still should have put in that chicane, because it would have been much safer for everyone, the race would have been done properly and there would have been much more excitement. ferrari are only 2 cars so why does something not happen just because they are the only team to disagree?
