The RULES say you must run on the SAME tires you QUALIFY on. I guess you don't give a **** about the rules.
Would you prefer just to throw the rules out the window because one of the largest tire companys in the world can't figure out how to make a tire work on a corner that's been around since 1909? Don't give me any crap about resufacing - the Bridgestones worked.
I can't believe that Michelin teams couldn't have adjusted their aero and chassis set ups so as not to eat through tires. That's what Ferrari had to do as Bridgestone tries to make a longer lasting tire.
F1 ain't NASCAR. Everybody isn't supposed to be equal. Michelin didn't do their homework. F1 ain't public school either. When you flunk, you get an "F". There's no social promotion to the next grade.
Michelin should refund all the fan's money.
