Before I get pulled up for it, I am fully aware that freak results happen in all forms of motor-sport, even in GP racing. There was always a reliability problem at Monaco for instance (Oliver Panis for example) but the end result wasn't as random as this present tyre situation.
Tyres have come into the equation in the past, such as the Moss win in Argentine 1958. But that was down to planned strategy, not technical probs beyond control of the team. (I'm afraid I regard the Maldanado win as a bit of a freak, sorry to all his fans.He's very promising, but he lucked-out that day).
Bernie may find all this uncertainty to his liking, but I don't consider it "pure" racing. It's really not fair to teams who put in all the slog, and then find something happens "on the day" which they couldn't possibly allow for.
