If anyone you know has traveled to Indy to watch this arvo's race then I feel for them! Cannot believe what I'm seeing on telly. Such a contrast compared to the great race that was Le Mans.

For those not in the know, basicaly due to a high speed tyre problem with the Michelin's and the failure to reach an agreement re changing the tyres mid race or putting in a chicane to slow proceedings, Michelin have withdrawn. This leaves just 3 teams so thats just six cars on the grid to race rather than the usual 20.

More info below.

Ugly situation. Michelin will feel this. I expect they will be out of F1 by the end of the year, maybe before the end of the season. To suggest they change the track because their tires cannot compete is just not acceptable.

I feel bad for the drivers, you know they wanted to race.

I agree...this is ridiculous. I'm not even watching the race anymore.

Just like last year, Bridgestone comes through as the season progresses.
