Ferrari had nothing to do with that. It has been stated numerous times not only by Ferrari but by other teams as well. It was up to the FIA to decide to BREAK THE RULES because a tire manufacturer screwed up. Its really that simple.
Michelin did this not Ferrari, the teams chose not to race rather than to not be competative. There was a safe way around the track the teams decided to not race rather than race that line.
This was nothing more than a tantrum by the Michelin teams. If I was Ferrari I would be pissed as hell for them pulling that stunt. I applaud them for going out and somewhat racing. Opening up their radios for us to hear them was cool too. They, at least, tried to put on a show.
I know I will never buy a Michelin tire.... never.
