Formula One at Indianapolis, ruined by
Michelin. The United States Grand Prix Formula One race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway started today with only six cars competing after 14 cars withdrew over a tire controversy.
Concerns over problems with Michelin tires on Friday, one of which involved a crash by Ralf Schmacher, led the teams to request they be allowed to use Bridgestone tires. The request was denied, so they pulled out of the race after warmups.
And I was so looking forward to a
right turn.
