DonT:
I'm not sure the F1A are the villains.
Michelin provided the tyres for the majority of the race teams, and have been progressively making their tyres for higher performance.
Each team could have two complete sets of tyres available, and neither of the sets of Michelin tyres were sufficiently safe for the rigours of this track (the design & specs of which would have been available in advance)
The teams running on Michelins (a good move up to now) wanted the race slowed down, by the addition of a chicane, once they realised that the advantage had passed to those driving on Bridgestone tyres.
I think the outcome (only Bridgestone users racing) will have the effect of making the teams realise that they can hold one of their two sets of tyres available as a safety option. Even if it means they can no longer have two slightly different sets of over-engineered tyres
