I don't really blame the teams for what happened. If someone wants to err on the side of caution when it comes to their driver's life, that's just fine with me. Michelin is the one who brought a shitty tire to the race track, plain and simple. They've been running the USGP for years now and never had a problem before; they made a mistake with what they brought this year, and it cost all of their teams a race, plus championship points. Colossally stupid.

Not to mention the damage this will do to the US F1 fan base & attendance for that event next year... people that spent $1000+ to fly in to see 6 cars tool around will not come back.
