A Collective Sigh of Relief
Formula One returned to Indianapolis hoping to repair some of the damage caused by last year's tyre fiasco. For the most part, the sport succeeded in doing so
One year after the infamous United States Grand Prix of 2005, it was unthinkable that a highly professional outfit like Michelin would arrive with unsuitable tyres again. Unthinkable but not impossible, for more inexplicable and disastrous mistakes have happened.
Thankfully, the most pessimistic premonitions did not materialise. Indianapolis 2006 will not be remembered as a classic, but it didn't have to be. A full grid of 22 cars starting the race was enough to put smiles on faces and soothe sweating palms.
