Introducing a chicane was not a real option, without proper testing and practice the organisers would leave themselves open to lawsuits if anyone got injured.

AFAIK there WAS an option open that would have been the fairest thing to do in the time frame namely to bring in replacement tyres. This is the option that should have been followed and allowed under the conditions I mentioned earlier

*...My solution would have been to publicly censure Michelin, fine them and start the Michelin clad teams from the back of the grid ...*

If any of the teams complained about starting from the back of the grid then they should take that problem up with Michelin at least they would have had a race and a chance of some success. Allowing Michelin to dictate terms is like the tail wagging the dog!
