F1 at Indy

I just finished watching the F1 race at Indianapolis and I have to say that I really enjoyed the spectacle of it all.

I especially like the fact that no compromises were made and Michelin was hung out to dry, unable to let any of their teams race. This is F1, the motor sport that prides itself on cars with no compromises. Why should the FIA change things because a bunch of people choose poorly? They shouldn't, and they didn't. And that's cool.

This isn't kids' stuff, this is F1. They're not a bunch of school girls. The track is the same for everyone, and the particular corner that's causing the problem has remained unchanged (in its banking level, the thing causing the issue with the tires) for over 90 years. Michelin has supplied tires for 5 previous years' races without any problems. Who forgot about the banked corner this year?

F1 is all about making the best thing you can, and then bringing it out to see if your best is better than everyone else's. Some times you win, some times you lose, and some times you lose big. And when you do, take it like a man.
