Anybody see the absolute screw up that was the US Grand Prix on sunday?
The last country you want it to happen in and **** hits the fan.
Any other country and they might have survived it but I think they\'ll be hard pushed to recover from this if at all.
Everyone blaming everyone else and it\'s the fans that get screwed.
I love formula one when it\'s on form and the races so far this year have been thrilling but what happened sunday just shows how the too much politics can ruin a sport.
Anybody see it? Anybody care -

Only six of the 20 cars took part, to the fury of 120,000 racegoers and a few million American TV viewers, after concerns about the safety of tyres supplied by Michelin escalated into a dispute between teams and motor sport\'s governing body. Seven of the 10 teams abandoned the race before it started.

SIX REASONS FOR THE SIX-CAR START
? Loss of pressure in Michelin tyres blamed for the crash that Ralf Schumacher and his Toyota teammate Ricardo Zonta suffered.
? Michelin orders new tyres to be flown in from France, while they analysed the old ones.
? This triggers an immediate controversy as, according to rules, the teams are obliged to use the same tyres for qualifying and the race.
? FIA rejects the Michelin proposals of using new tyres.
? Michelin advise its teams not to race if the new tyres could not be used.
? Only the teams using Bridgestone tyres ? Ferrari, Minardi and Jordan ? line up for the race. -
