itv.com/f1 - Michelin teams pull out at Indianapolis

An utter utter farce...

They could have done better and the american fans are likely never to forgive this.

Its a sad day for the sport.

Hopefuly this will lead to some dramatic changes for the benifit of the fans.

USA Grand Prix 2005 WTF ?????

Official Timing

Well what a race. All the michelin cars pulled out and 6 cars running bridgestone tires making a pathetic set of laps. Its the 2 lowest ranked teams against Ferrari WOW i can guess how this will turn out.

YAWN!!

Im both exhilirated and slightly afraid at the same time. This is one very slick piece of work. Proffessional stuff.

So where do you want to go tommorow?

Take a look at this and see where it could be.
Its both profoundly liberating and disturbingly orwelian at the same time.

I wont debate the merits or concerns i have with this fictional future. Suffice it to say that I for one will Love the google Grid should it ever come out.
