FIA President, Max Mosley, has reacted to today's events at Indianapolis.
"It seems that the Michelin teams failed to bring a back-up tyre as usual with them to Indianapolis," he said. "As a result they had a performance problem and asked for the circuit to be changed to overcome their difficulty.
"The FIA offered them options which would have allowed them to compete safely within the limitations of their tyres," he continued. "For some reason they chose not to accept these options.
"As a result Formula One and motor sport fans throughout the World are the losers today. The FIA is now awaiting a report from its Observer in Indianapolis before deciding on the next step."
