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.
I'll bet that'll change.
