How crazy was that race? Only 6 cars actually raced after the first lap due to Michelin advising that the 14 cars it supplied tires to were unsafe for the final banked turn at the track.
So they officially started the race and at the end of the first lap 14 cars pulled into the pits as 6 cars that were running Bridgestone (thats the brand i run..and now u all know why  ) continued the race.I gotta say Michael Shoemacher is a dirty racer. Well actually hes not...hes out there to win and he does what he has to do even if that means cutting off his own team mate. http://msn.foxsports.com/motor/story/3698068?GT1=6555 story there! -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

Even with the warning from Michelin i think they should have started. Even tho they probably would not get to the finish at all. Because now all the Michelin teams will start the next race with a worn engine against the fresh ones of the Bridgestone teams (because of the 2 race/1000km rule or something like that ). Not that Jordan or Minardi will benefit from that. But Ferrari will i gues.
