Michelin had a similar problem last year. I don't see why they can't come up with a tyre which is not radical for Indy!

Good on Monterio for getting the podium though. Stoddart doesn't want the points, but I bet you he will be happy when the pay check comes in with a few million dollars on it.

Why should ferrari cave into other teams who run other tyres, when they can have a tyre that can last the distance. And don't say because Ferrari = FIA; other teams said that they can see where ferrari are coming from.

I dunno about the GPWC though. Ferrari and red bull have already agreed to sign up with the concord agreement, however, if bernie would introduce some sensible rules maybe, just maybe we might be able to have a decent f1 race.

I wonder how long this will last for?

You're way over the top. You like F1 because it's about politics?

OJ - get off bos and msn and start studying! Just so I don't have to put up with your whinging about you failing :p

And the rules you saw, are you sure they were for 2008? Cause they were released during the week.

Atleast they are bringing back the 12 laps / 1 hour qualifying!

Because all 10 teams needed to agree and the FIA needed to agree as well. But this would present a problem for bridgestone, because their cars can't slow down without loosing tyre pressure, which might lead to a blow out.

And the FIA are just being their bitchy selves wouldn't agree to anything.

But there is definately more going on than what we read off websites.

Go Schumacher...how good was he to win that race this morning! :)
I don't know about you, as much as I love Schumacher, I like to see him fight for his victories. I would have loved to have seen michael vs kimi!!!

But atleast he is now in championship contention :D

I am absolutely disgusted. This is worse than "Austria-gate" and I lay the blame on Mosley and co. for not realising that this was a potential problem with their rule changing.

"Bernie Ecclestone could be sued for the return of the $13.5m (£7.4m) it cost the Indianapolis organisers to stage the farcical US grand prix."

Michelin shod teams are going to court on the 29th of June (hey, thats my last exam :mad: ).

Will be interesting to see what happens!
