Formula One over the last few seasons has struggled with Ferrari's domination and the issue of a lack of competition. The Indianapolis Grand Prix is an embarrassment to sport, and fans who have paid to watch this deserve a full refund. To compound matters, Ferrari are not even pushing their cars, and the fans venting their frustrations via throwing objects on the track is fully justified. Were this to be a football match, or indeed an F1 race in Italy where passions run far higher, there would be a stampede. Common-sense has gone out the window. The FIA has risked a violent protest, and the cars on the track are in danger from objects being thrown on the track.
I'm still bemused as to why they didn't just bung a chicane in before Turn 13. I've bet a fair amount of money today, most of which I suspect I will lose.
What absolute fucking crap.

A controversial penalty was awarded that had to be re-taken twice. Mexico initially scored it but missed on the 2 retakes. Didn't watch after 50mins

It was a complete joke, should have sorted it out on Saturday but there's two many egos involved.
What absolute fucking crap. Best option would have been (as the michelin drivers offered) to run with all Bridgestone's up front, or no Michelin Drivers get any points but that was turned down as a comprimise. Can't see that race happening next year. |

the michelin tyres were deemed too dangerous to race with so every team using them tyres was forced to withdraw. that left only 6 cars (two of them ferraris). ferrari didnt want the race to go ahead with these drivers jus so they could win. cheating bastards!
