Michelin say that tyres might NOT work at SPA also !!

Next most severe? Indy T13 didn't break open any Honda engines. Eau Rouge has at least three japanese flags on its cockpit combing.

If a tiny bank put too much stress on Michelins, then Spa will pop them for sure.

 

Very true statement should similar a situation occur. Hmmmm, let's see - already have 550 Eur in race tickets; 1267 USD in 2 airline tickets to Brussels, hotel room at Sheraton airport, hotel room in Bastogne, car rental - I think we've committed a fair amount to F1 thus far for this race, so my hope is that there's a full grid coming past us at Pouhon on Sunday. At least there's quite a bit to do in the area if one ends up in tourist mode.

Doing a transatlantic flight I can only justify/endure by combining F1 with other travel anyway. Not in a million years would I do 2x9 hours of flight and thousands of $$$ for just one GP. And I love the stuff.

As far as Michelin goes: I'm quite sure the crisis is over. F1 is a fast business to react and I don't think we'll ever see a repeat of the Indy situation. And a Michelin driver will clinch the title eventually.

 

A little off topic maybe, But I heard/read at Indy that the tires are supposed to be designed to last 217 miles.....

FYI

 

.............................I am still waiting for people on this forum to blame Ferrari and Jean Todt for this one...................................................Any takers?? Anyone? anyone? No one??!!

 

I heard that a Ferrari fan pissed in the vat when Michelin was making up its batch of tyres...Ferrari industrial sabotage, no doubt!
