Thanks Vorlon, knew it was early 90's but still fresh in my mind. Obviously Mr Eccleston drinks Horlicks at night! Or takes strong sleeping tablets.
Have just read FIA taking Michelin to task. Apparently they brought two types of tyres & have a history of supplying racing teams in the Indy so must have been aware of the wear the banked surface takes on tyres. Following Ralf Schumakers crash on Saturday they advised seven teams to withdraw but made offer to ship in suitable tyres. However this breached the regs set this season that teams can only use two nominated sets of tyres but both were deemed unsafe by Michelin. So cock up by supplier or silly ruling? Bet the FIA win!!!!
