Michelin was to blame. There was no easy answers available to this problem. How can you add a new chicane an hour prior to starting the race withought giving the drivers ample time to learn the new course? Have the Michelin drivers slow for turn 13? Not a good idea with the speed differentials involved, that would not have been the safe thing to do. Like I said, no easy answers to this problem.
However, how we got here is fixable. Requiring 1 set of tires for quali and race day is what got us to this point. Would have never had these issues had that gawd aweful rule never been born. All that rule has managed to do is make the cars more dangerous.
