The rules are in place and must be enforced to allow equality and justice as in any sport BUT these tyres where dangerous and could have killed someone, in fact it was amazing that nobody was seriously hurt in the testing. At times like this someone needs to have the common sense to allow the race to be a race . Michelin did not put peoples life in danger to cheat it was just a huge stuff up on there part. My solution would have been to publicly censure Michelin, fine them and start them from the back of the grid ... it was that simple.

The race fans deserve better, a disgrace and pure 'more than my jobs worth' management by the f1 bosses.

And as for the idea of allowing drivers to race with unsafe tyres, does any one remember the court cases in Italy over Ayrton Senna's death? Who would want to face that or have blood on there hands?
