Only if Michelin said it wasn't safe to park on their tires. ;-)
Yeah, the "race" was very disappointing (even though I'm a Michael
Schumacher fan), but since Ralf Schumacher almost got killed last year in
the exact same accident, I don't blame them for being a bit cautious. It's
too bad Michelin didn't get the tire design right. And it wasn't
Bridgestone's fault that the Michelin runners couldn't race. I don't see
what else they could have done.
Regardless of what some people said, it isn't show business, it's racing at
the highest level. If you want a show that's artificially close, go with
NASCAR.
