Seriously?
I'm shocked for words.

Six.
I shall have to watch the highlights.
How many cars actually raced?

I missed the race...was out and about but what exactly happened? The Michelin tyres weren't safe so no one on those tyres could race?
Yay for Monteiro...first Portuguese man to get to the podium (didn't really count though did it :P)

I'd say the momentum is firmly with the GPWC, the breakaway Championship.
Plus the fact they can kiss goodbye to the lucrative American market now. They weren't too impressed with F1 to begin with and this is probably going to be the nail in the coffin for it. They can forget that race in Las Vegas at least
You know there's a chance that this situation could even go as far as finishing Formula 1?
There's going to be a lot of people wanting to sue the FIA, and who can blame them? Take the guy that had travelled from Panama, for example. An 8-hour flight (double that for both ways) and staying in a hotel on top of the costs of his tickets will come to... well, a lot of money. And there's going to be plenty more people looking for a lot of money from the FIA as well. Pretty much anyone from outside Indianapolis has a reasonable claim to make, seeing as it's right in the middle of America, and there were viewers from all over the country there today.
If this does get taken to the courts by a large number of people (which is likely), and the FIA loses, then a large amount of money is going to be lost. A seriously large amount.

I have to agree with GP. By neither agreeing nor disagreeing they effectively said no. It was not a situation where you could sit on the fence.
Michelin only created the problem but they also came up with a safe solution. They cannot be held solely responsible for the 'race that wasn't'.

Utter fiasco, no wonder i stopped watching it.
While i understand Monteiro's joy it wasn't exactly a smart move spraying the champagne about the place, think it just made the fans that actually stayed even more p'd off.

It was funny, but I suppose for two drivers as talented and experienced as Rubens and Michael it would have seemed rather disrespectful. For Monteiro, who drives one of the worst cars in Formula 1 in his debut season, it's a big moment nevertheless, so I'm glad he had some fun anyway.
