From a technical standpoint it can be argued that this was in large part a setup problem as much as a tire problem......Witness NASCAR left fronts at Pocono....only one group of cars affected and they were all running aggressive setups on the LF. As far as that turn goes, well, it's not something new even with the grinding. It's been there since 1909!

It really is irrelevant as the attitude which killed the race has been dominating F1 for years. Argue with them as you will, but the NASCAR people know who pays the bills whereas Bernie and Company sadly think racing has nothing to do with fans. I can't imagine Brian France and Mike Helton allowing anything like this to happen.

And considering the rather dismal state of affairs and constant bickering going on in the US open wheel racing community, I'm amazed that no one has tried to blame this on Tony George! LMAO
