Legislation this year made the teams run on one tyre for the entire race and that they would have to run on the same kind of tyres that they ran at the start of the weekend. Therefore once all Michelin runners took up their tyres and the fault was found they were destined to not race once Michelin said they were unsafe.
Ultimately I believe the fault lies with Michelin as they couldn't design a tyre of a suitable nature. I felt sorry for all the fans who had paid money and hope that they get a refund. The FIA must also take the blame if it is indeed true that they rejected the Michelin teams idea of running with a chicane but with all Michelin teams not scoring points. This is a terrible day for Formula One and America will probably never forgive it.
