There was a lot happening

in the sporting world over the weekend, but I can’t remember anything as bizarre as what happened at the US Grand Prix on Sunday: F1 begins to count the cost of its darkest hour. In short, there are two tire suppliers to the ten teams (Bridgestone and Michelin), and one of them - Michelin - determined that the tires it had supplied for the race wouldn’t be safe on the circuit. So they had all of the teams running on their product pull out of the race. The race ran, but with only 6 competitiors! Blame has being freely apportioned ever since.
