Hmmm... I hadn't read about this, but it smells like tough rocks for the Michelin teams. They had a choice to go slower, to take the penalty, to change tires more often, or to skip the race. They made their choice, and they should live with it.

The idea of going into a race and asking the other guys to slow down because you can't go as fast is just ludicrous in my book. 'Course, the idea of going in with equipment that seems prone to failure for no apparent reason is just as ludicrous.

Methinks they'll have a spare set of tires for future races, just in case... or they'll do more local testing.

'Tis truly a pity for those who went to see a race, though... they got far less than they wanted.

*edit* See my retraction of this post further down. I stand educated (at least, more so).
