Yeah yeah , Everytime when Schumacher's about to lose his crown , He'll get a boost from FIA . Exactly like Indianapolis 2003 where Ferrari told FIA about Michelin's treads and blah blah. And yet they disagreed to installing a chicane for SAFETY. Sore losers.

And Michelin didn't know about the track's condition after the alteration as the road is said to be more abrasive , causing High tyre temps and Failures. Aihz , what can we do? Maybe FIA is 'Ferrari'IA.

Really, we should not piss of. Imagine once in a lifetime race. Even if you have money, you won't get to see this again. Well, no doubt it's boring, but thats what competition is.

Try too hard, step over the limit, and it's gone. Imagine they don't detect the problem before hand, IT GONNA BE A GREAT RACE !

You seen black non-transparent ballon before ? This one is tied to the wheel !

I read from the newspaper, I think the fault lies in Michelin and the team owner of car run on Michelin. FIA offered them the solution either run slower on the turn, or change tyre but suffer penalty.. but they insist on installing a chicane. It's like Maria Sharapova brought a raquet tuned for clay court to a match on grass court. So she insisted the organiser to matt the court on the opponent side with grass so she can play. Would that ever happened??

My point is the responsibility of bring a right tyre lies on the team itself, as the rules and the circuit structures has been make known to everyone prior to the race. You just can't ask to bent the rules on last minutes just because you flunk on your side. Althought it's really a boring race…

However, i also think the FIA has instill too much rules. I think at giving the team 2 set of tyres is better than one, as the thrill of the changing tyres at a lots of fun to the race.
