US Formula 1 race great for Ferarri, bad for Michelin

[LL - NY]

Since Michelin had "success" (only one failure, unfortunately putting
Ralf out for the remainder of the season) last year, they had a lot of
data. I do know the one tire rule has significantly rattled both
Michelin and Bridgestone, but one would've thought that they'd
anticipated better the wear issues. Since the rules stipulated that
they could change ONE (1) tire during the race for safety, they
could've started the race. Then possibly DQ (but allow to run) the
Michelin cars if they needed to change additional tires. Just a
thought (again, having not seen the race, 'cuz I live in nowheresville
and I don't have my Satellite hook-up (yet!)).
