hmmm hmmm hmmm... kayaknya besok bakal rame tuh di pengadilan.
soalnya dlm tempo 45 menit itu, nggak ada wakil dari tim2 yg pake ban michelin lapor ke charlie whiting tentang rencana mundur dari lomba. bahkan formation lap-nya pun komplit 20 mobil. artinya: secara legal gp amerika diikuti oleh 20 kontestan. artinya: bakal ada denda besar besaran buat mereka.

fyi: setelah kejadian hari minggu itu, hari senen-nya saham michelin drop 1.3% di dow jones.
