Yes, I agree with Qualiflyer.

It is an inadequate rule book that has failed the US GP. this has been my arguement on the other thread (US GP fiasco caused by F1 management not Michelin)

With the current atmo temp in katoomba, 59 is as high as you will get as your brain slowly freezes solid

I agree with the Qualifyer.

Jim well said,i can imagine ur position with ur wife too

Michelin screwed up big time.Though there were un-agreeable solutions proposed,i feel, as i've mentioned earlier,Bridgestone teams should have been given points for the championship which they got anyway & have 3-4, 12lap shootout non-championship race(as Michelins would last on 10-12 laps)
Race fuel to be decided by the teams,tyres conditions decided by the teams(Bridgestone & Michelin allowed to warm up their tyre for optimum performance)
Mayb use only 1 driver at a time,10 cars on the grid...N points alotted till 10th position.

Fans at Indy were the biggest losers.

It was an impassable farce, and a farcical impasse.

Paul Stoddart's personal account of USGP very interesting.

gmcg28c,

The link you provided isn't working!

I would imagine you are talking about the same article on NewsOnF1 here. There is also a thread to discuss Stoddart's personal account of events here

If not please PM me the link and I can make sure it is formatted properly here.

Thanks

Ahh, if only I could figure out how to split quotes to insert mine in the appropriate place. I have given up and just sit staring moodily at the mongrel "Fred" and polishing the axe

With the current atmo temp in katoomba, 59 is as high as you will get as your brain slowly freezes solid :lol:

I was as high as 40 in the "8 n Pole" after the Canadian GP. However, somehow I just didn't foresee both the Jordan and Minardi cars finishing in the top 6. I wonder if anybody had seriously picked all of Jordan and Minardi to finish in the top 8
