today,
the farce continues: now the teams that didnt participate in the F1 race this sunday are facing charges from FIA. The Teams - not the company that produces the tires for 17 of the 20 teams in F1!

The one reason the teams chose not to start in the race, was that the tires of two cars - the BMW and Toyata - blew up during practice resulting in serious chrashes, why the rest of the teams driving with Michelin tires chose not to race this particular weekend, in solidarity with the other teeams, becaused they feared a major chrash that could injure both drivers and spectators. And now FIA wants the teams to pay.It doesnt make any fucking sense! Apparently no responsibilty seems to be placed on Michelin and niether is is discussed whether or not the points that amongst other, FIA-darling Michael Schumacher scored is to be considered just and fair.

Talk about amputating a sport. Get a grip FIA.
