It is a spectacle I just realised I miss and another reason to get rid of the present rules for next season. I think they should even change the rules now - that you can change tyres, but only tyres or fuel, not both. It seems foolish/dangerous to wait for a puncture before you change a tyre under the present rules.
Alas i agree to what u said

And watching Ferrari guys getting run over, and setting fire to the car with Schuey in it

Any severe penalties will lead to French GP boycott

I hope out of the 23 ppl in the World body council,the maximum are in the favour of no penalty & then they can ousted Max from office too

Michelin have concluded their investigations concerning the tyres used at the US GP.
Pierre Dupasquier declared: "The problem was that we under-evaluated the extreme constraints to which tyres were exposed through Turn 13 in the specific context of 2005. We are grateful to our partners for their work with us right up to the last moment to seek a solution that would have permitted the race to go ahead in total safety. We regret that the spectators did not see an exciting race. However, in keeping with its principles, Michelin did not sacrifice safety for performance."

Reading between the lines, my take on this is that despite the best efforts of Mad Max and the FIA, the cars are exerting greater downforce, and going faster( hence greater lateral loading will occur) than the simulations allowed for.
QED, tis max's fault

Reading Michelins statement makes me feel that even with billions of dollars & the best resources Michelins have,they can screw up big time.

Money & resources dont count for perfection all the time

Whats even more suprising is that the cars are going faster this year even with changed rules

Max whats ur next weapon against the teams
