Throw out Michelin from F1 and penalise all the constructors that retired their cars
My, my, my.
A very sad day for Formula 1 fan, not only the Americans, but the whole wide world. I sympatise with their anger, but throwing stuffs into the track is worst than the stupid act of running into it like the protesting Irish guy the other day. Those debris could risk injuring any of the drivers and might even hit the watching fans as well. Shame on you throwers!
Congratulations to the FIA for their principled stand, Ferrari for standing to their rights, and a bit of mention to Jordan for indeed racing as well. I would not like to put Paul Stoddard in the same line. He's just a whiner, and was just trying to win both ways! He was better a couple of years back. He's not doing very well, most probably these days.
It was indeed sweet justice that both of his cars could not match Jordan's.
Anyways, the fiasco should be blamed on Michelin, c.c.c.p's post was a very true reflection of the critical observation that I don't have to repeat. Read it here. Kenneth Chiew digested it well here as well. For Azfar, read those two for the answers to your questions! Monolith should read more on the sport rather than to blame the 3 racing teams.
Anyways, what I would like to see is for the FIA to throw Michelin out of F1 event for the year, with probation for the next one, and even for the other events that they are involved in FIA sanctioned ones. The constructors should also be penalised by taking away points, with probational sentence hanging over their heads as well.
The Michelin-shod constructors are the ones who have been putting ransoms after ransoms and threats after threats at FIA, yet, Ferrari is always the team being blamed for all the unsatisfactory stuffs that the fans seems to grouse at.
This new turn of event, indeed is a very rosy triumph of some kind to Ferrari and all of REAL formula 1 fans, not the bulk of new followers of the trend, watching F1 just because it is the in-thing to do!
A sad day to the REAL fan tho', the fiasco of Michelin!

nice 'outcry' post. it's true, only real f1 fans will understand the situation, biased fans will not.
i agree that michelin is the troublemaker here, but can you really blame the constructors for putting their drivers' lives first? i may sound like i am blaming the 3 teams who raced, but i'm only a spectator of the sport and i want to watch a good race. i don't support any teams, but i think they took the right decision not to risk trading points with lives. fan or no fan, i think it's common sense which matters more.
CCCP.
Thanks for the support and comment.
Monolith, my comment is posted at your blog, and repeated here as well.

Thanks for dropping by my blog and to offer your counter-argument.
Anyways, as a formula 1 watcher (I cannot risk saying me a fan, for I would cheapen the term), those constructors who didn't want to slow down by themselves wanted Bridgestones runners to suffer all the same are partly to be blamed, while Michelin should shoulder the most!
I do reckoned that All real formula 1 watchers should emphatise with FIA and Bridgestone-shod team.
ps: Dear mono, for someone who didn't suppost any team, you have the gall to call the 6 runners 'stupid', in your post, 3rd paragraph.
