With any luck this will get Indy off the F1 calendar.

It's a joke of a circuit anyway.

Because even if it were financially / contractually possible, Bridgestone are highly unlikey to have enough tyres available for all the teams.

Easy solution is to allow them to use the new tyres that Michelin have shipped in.

The crowd are all booing and giving the thumbs-down.

I don't blame them.

Me too, remember when Senna went out of the race in Brazil and loads of the crowd walked out

Idiots, total idiots!

Seems like the sport is run by the same people we all complain about when they bugger up fixing our cars. No common sense and the end of F1 in the US for years to come.

The interview with Eclestone by Brundell put him in a whole new light to me. Idiots at the top and all the way down!

The sport is always bigger but today F1 has shot iteself in the foot like never before!

What an absolute farce!!

I'm gutted once again F1, mainly the FIA and Ferrari are shooting themselves in the foot! Will the US actually want F1 back next year. Its a disgrace, I can't believe it.

I think half the problem is that F1 has become so enmired in rules that this problem was almost unavoidable to defuse without breaking a plethora of rules. So it wasn't sorted out.

As Brundle said, vested interests have refused to stand back and compromise for the sake of the sport.

Yet another nail in F1's coffin - which must be almosr ready to leave the undertaker's by now.
