#4 Tiago Monterio
"Though it is a weird race, you had to finish to be there"
Trending
were the words from Monterio after finishing third in the United States Grand Prix 2005, where only 6 drivers drove the race. This race is one of the most controversial Formula One races in the entire history as 14 cars retired to pits after the parade lap due to the farce tires. All those fourteen were using Michelin tires. The three teams using Bridgestone tires, Ferrari, Jordan, and Minardi competed.
FIA responded to this weird race by summoned the seven Michelin-shod teams to explain further on their failure to participate and also charged specifically on six rules. Michelin tried to nullify the agony by volunteering to compensate all the race fans who had purchased tickets for the Grand Prix.
Within 3 months of time, Michelin issued the refund cheques through the Speedway ticket office. Additionally, Michelin also purchased 20,000 tickets for the 2006 United States Grand Prix to be distributed to spectators who attended the 2005 race.
