Wow looks like there will be only 4 cars to start!

[Barry Scott]

stupid Michelin. As Martin brundle said, "I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry"

[Dan Sampford]

I for one feel sorry for the fans who travelled 1,000 of miles and have spent so much money and time!

[EUFC superb]

FARCE FARCE FARCE FARCE!!!!!

[Barry Scott]

if the three teams racing had any dignity they'd pull all the cars out in protest because this isn't a race, it's a bloody embarrassment

[Dan Sampford]

What about the fans? Even thou the race is so far [****!!****]!

[YELLOW]

Ended up only 6 cars racing. Apparently the spectators were so pissed off with events that bottles and cans were thrown on to the track and there was booing and heckling during the podium presentation.

[Matt]

Made for very depressing viewing. So disappointing that everybody concerned couldn't come to a more suitable agreement. At least Brazil vs Mexico was on afterwards to provide some sort of entertainment.

[Barry Scott]

there are decent sized F1 type tracks in America (Watkins Glen in New York and Infineon Raceway in California) so why not race there? Why this stupid one tyre rule? And why were Michelin's tyres so rubbish that they could have seriously injured someone?

[Martin]

It was a farce but for the first time in ages I actually watched a whole Grand Prix programme. Michelin sent the wrong tyres btw they did have sets that were perfectly safe. They were just on the wrong continent.

[Dan Sampford]

Yep, but the drivers have never used them before, so that was an excuse for the teams not to race.

 

The race went very quick for me!

[OllieLong]

Thought it was quite funny seeing six cars on the starting grid! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

that may well be the most... in fact I don't think I can actually top that

[OllieLong]

Nice to see a Jorden on the podeum though! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[gnfcmightymole]

yes the other 7 teams are in the dock on 29th

[Big J R]

Stoddart is talking about sueing Max Mosley.

 

This could get very interesting.

[gnfcmightymole]

and also hightens the possability of the much discussed break away from f1/fia

[Rob_Butler]

the best thing that could of happened would have been rubens an shuey to smash in2 each other

[ChrisSpennytown]

I was very shocked that there was only 6 cars running and i wasnt surprised that the other cars didnt race really...
