If they would have catered to michelin and slowed the course down, they would have been screwing over the properly prepared bridge teams, breaking the rules, and setting a dangerous precedent where the FIA accomodates unprepared/uncompetitive teams to make them competitive.
If they dont cater to michelin, well we see what has happened.
I really dont see how F1 is going to survive through this.
Either a CART/IRL style split or an all new series is coming methinks.
quite a shame, because the new proposed F1 rules looked to be fantastic
