Renault boss Flavio Briatore has threatened to withdraw his cars from
tomorrow’s US Grand Prix unless permission is granted for Michelin to use
a new batch of tyres flown in from its factory in Clermont-Ferrand.

“We fully support Michelin in this situation, and in the efforts they are
making to best resolve it,” Briatore said in a statement released by the
team.

“They are flying out different tyres to use in tomorrow’s race – the same
that were used in Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix.

“The authorization to use them has not yet been granted, but if that were
not given, we would not compete in tomorrow’s race.

:suck: :suck: :suck:
 
:shock: And I didnt know he was THAT angry

LOL LOL LOL WTF are Michelin trying to do now

The FIA has rejected Michelin’s suggestion that a temporary chicane
should be constructed at Indianapolis’ Turn 13 to alleviate the company’s
tyre problems.

FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting wrote to Michelin this morning
effectively informing the tyre manufacturer that its Indianapolis dramas
were down to the shortcomings of its tyre design, and that fixing the
problem was not, therefore, the responsibility of the governing body.

Michelin has advised its seven teams not to take part in the US Grand Prix
unless either the cause of Ralf Schumacher’s Friday accident is found and
rectified, or the FIA allows it to bring in an alternative Barcelona-spec tyre.

The flat-out, banked, Turn 13 places the critical stress on tyres at
Indianapolis, and it was suggested that inserting a chicane at this spot
would solve the crisis.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

It has been hinted that Michelin’s problems are so severe that teams
affected would have to pit every 10 laps.

LOL LOL LOL
