F1 did not wimp out the drivers did.
6 of the 22 cars raced. If it had been flip flopped and Bridgestone was the problem tire instead of Micheline then only 6 cars would have had to either, pit every 10-15 laps and drive on the banking, or drive down off the banking in the banked turn at a slower speed and then pit normally.
Instead, the 9 teams chose to put on a "big show" and line up then pit on the formation lap making a scene.
Again, if it was only 3 teams and 6 cars that did this everyone would have laughed at them and said "Ha Ha you guys have the crappy tires".
I overheard to guys in the produce section talking about todays race and what a joke it was. I guess pit crews were actually throwing fists over getting more tires because they were running out? That is what I overheard in the grocery store.
