Tony George has a contract to host the USGP through next year. It's not the death of anything. I would've rather watched what I did last week than watch the possible death of a driver.

From a legal standpoint, yes it was. Therefore, no refunds can be given out.

Bridgestone lend their tyres to the other teams? That's the most laughable thing I've read, in terms of this year's USGP. They're rival companies, plus the Michelin teams have a clause in their respective contracts that say that they can't.

I was shocked at first when I saw the race. I didn't get to see it from the beginning, only saw the last 25 laps. Having no idea of what happened, imagine the look on my face when I turned on the TV and seeing 6 cars in the race and the rest out.

Being an F1 fan, I wasn't affected by that one race, though I do think that they shouldn't have made it official. Although I am glad for Tiago, since it was the first time he finished third. I couldn't say the same for Schumacher. His first victory this season, and he got it in such a race. Pretty shameful, if you ask me (even if it wasn't his fault).

It was not race, it was the true masquerade. I think interest to F1 in the USA after this race will strongly fall. Owner Minardi was not against participation of other teams on Michlene but Jean Todt has on the contrary said " nobody helped to us also we not begin to help anybody " this is not sports - this is money

i was watching a racing show tonight. they had interviewed a guy from a lower F1 team who thought it was possible that there might be a boycott at the French Grand Prix. that is very interesting. i could be wrong, but i think it has something to do with the Michelin teams possibly being penalized in the future for dropping out of the USGP. i guess if they are penalized, these teams could possible boycott in France. if this happens, its amazing what kind of impact the USGP has on all of F1. i suppose this could have happened in any of the other F1 races.

They do have respective contracts with Michelin but remember that the other sponsors on their cars are also contracted for them to race. The point of sponosorship is to be seen on TV not pulled into a garage.

The only way that you could have gotten money from the tickets was to attend the Cleveland Grand Prix which accepted the tickets and gave out Granstand tickets for the champ car race. I won't expect getting anything else other then a peice of history which is the ticket. Low and behold guess who is the spec tire in Champ Car......Bridgestone

i was gonna edit it when i realized that if they couldn't compromise with the chicane and they couldn't compromise with using multiple tires that weekend, then they wouldn't lend the tires. it was just an idea. everyone wants to know what could have been done to save it. like i said, there's too much politics involved. they may feel bad for the fans now, but its too late.

i just read that Michelin plans to refund the tickets.
