The US Grand Prix has always had a tumultuous past. No one could agree on where it should be held as the event bounced around all four corners of the country. But in 2000, it looked like F1 had a winner: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway infield road course. However, the 2005 USGP fell apart in spectacular fashion due to a track repave, insider information, and ongoing tire war, and a stubborn sanctioning body. This is the tale of how F1 racing died in America.

I agree because the Michelin tires would not be able to hold up at very high speeds and efforts to reach to the F1 people who are in charge of the circuit could not be reached. Leaving 14 of the Michelin runners to not race and pull into the pits at the end of the formation lap. Only the Bridgestone runners Ferrari, Jordan and the uncompetitive Minardi teams ran the race of what is only a 6 car race for the Grand Prix on one o fr the most chaotic days in F1 history.

@PYLrulz1984 4 года назад

Part of it, yeah... but part of it they should have done their homework, even if it meant not getting near the testing that Bridgestone (via Firestone) got from the surface. It probably would have meant going into that weekend with a tire that wouldn’t be near as competitive, but considering how shitty Ferrari was that season, it’s not like having a rock hard tire that wouldn’t be able to keep up as well with the Bridgestones was going to cost one of those teams the championship, at least against Ferrari anyway. That’s not to say the FIA is blameless, but Michelin probably could have done more, or at least did some homework.

@Widestone001 4 года назад

@@PYLrulz1984 You are right - although, in their favor, after realizing just how bad they screwed up, they did try to remedy the situation. I watched this race on TV and the commentators were totally stunned about the drive-out (calling this a walk-out just feels not right in this special case). The attempts of both tire producers and all the teams to still have a good show for the fans, even though the race as such was a bust, has to be held in everybody's favor as well. They would have driven, and the fans would have had a good show. In my opinion all blame lies with the FIA which blocked all those attempts.

@keeganschneider_yt 4 года назад

I swear that the FIA have never actually watched any motorsports race ever. I mean how do you tell a race car driver of any kind to to slow down 20-30 MPH in a high speed corner. Plus, using one set of tires for an entire race, is probably the worst rule I have ever heard of. That is just putting a driver at more danger especially in an open wheel Formula 1 car

@andrewcarter1747 4 года назад

I mean, drivers going the full race without changing tyres was pretty common until the 90's, and it worked out pretty fine in 2005 for the most part as well, generally failures like Raikkonen's were due to driver error (flat spotting tyres is bad) and it was clarified that if you though the tyres were in an unsafe condition you could come in and change them. Hell, Sebastian Vettel completed all but 1 lap of the 2010 Italian GP on a set of Bridgestones softs, only completing a single lap on the hard compounds and that was only because the rules said he had to, it was absolutely no problem to complete an entire race on a single set of tyres with minimal wear and performance drop off.

@keeganschneider_yt 4 года назад

Good point Andrew Carter, I guess it would be more common in a Formula series event considering that the races are much shorter in length compared to IndyCar, or NASCAR. I don't watch much of F1, so I don't have as much history based knowledge with that series, so I was comparing it more to other series thinking it would be more dangerous, then what other people might have thought.

@rickyjoejohnson4886 4 года назад

Supposed to be the best drivers and most high technology race. Drivers and teams should be able to make a tire last. If they did not want to take the steps to make them last in order to run faster then they only have themselves to blame. They can make setup changes to make the tires last. You weekly WOO Sprint or Late Model teams run more laps and know how much they can push to make the tires last. WITHOUT all the technology and radio conversation.

@krthecarguy5150 4 года назад

there were a lot of proposals from the teams and Michelin to solve the problem: a chicane, run turn 13 in double yellow flag (forcing all drivers to slow down), that all happened because Max Mosley said everything was illegal and stuff. also, just a little correction, Kimi Raikkonnen's tyre didn't blew on the last lap of the European Grand Prix, the flat spot on the tyre caused a lot of vibration and the suspension just didn't handle that, so the suspension failed because of the tyre, but the tyre was mostly intact. that caused a rule change that stated if your tyres are not on safe condition, you can come down pit lane and change them.

@S1apShoes 4 года назад

@danesorensen1775 4 года назад

If you want to get really pedantic, the rules already said you could change a damaged tyre for safety reasons, but at the time nobody knew if a flat spotted tyre counted as a severe enough safety risk to fall under that rule. After Kimi showed us unequivocally that yes, it was, the FIA clarified things. But that's only if you want to get pedantic. ;)

@3Dsjk 4 года назад

That European GP was maddening to watch. Everybody was so anxious to see if Kimi could make it to the end of the race, and heartbroken when the suspension failed on the last lap.

Two bonus stories from this, the most f***ed up of races Minardi team owner Paul Stoddart said in an interview that he was considering also pulling out of the race, and if it was up to him, they would've, however sponsors forced his hand, because they could smell TV time. He also claimed that Jordan had agreed not to race, however when Jordan changed their minds, Stoddart felt he had to go racing. Imagine if only Ferrari had started the race... A bunch of drivers wanted to race. Red Bull driver David Coulthard said he almost 'forgot' to go into the pits, as he was that passionate about the race

Coulthard was recorded on the radio in the car telling the team that if they hadn't made up their mind yet, he wanted to race. So it was obviously very last minute. Also leaving the grid on the formation lap, Kimi Raikkonen turned off his launch control and lit up the rears leaving a big strip of rubber on his grid slot, which would've given him more grip off the real start had he taken it. He later suggested that he was thinking of forgetting to pull in as well. Both Red Bull & McLaren (along with at least one other Michelin team, I can't remember which one) felt their tire deg wasn't bad and could race, although Michelin had told them not to.

God I really hate Max Mosley for that 2005 regulation. I still do today.... That 2005 no tire change rule was the stupidest idea that ever came out from FIA. It was basically a rule that clearly tried to single-handedly break the unstoppable Ferrari + Bridgestone combo that came out fresh with Schumi winning 13 out 18 races in 2004. It was the absolute worst.... Kimi Raikkonen's suspension failure at Nurburgring due to his Michelin tires ripped apart to pieces should've been the signal to call off that rule immediately....

From a pure competition standpoint, you're correct. However that's not the case here. There were over a hundred-thousand people in the stands, and millions more at home.

I think you should rename this video because the 2021 Belgian GP with two laps behind the safety car just eclipsed the 2005 US GP as the worst ever F1 race. When spectators are soaked in the grandstands to see a 2-lap race (where overtaking is not allowed because it's behind a safety car) cut short with delays, wait 3 additional hours only to receive the news that the race is then cancelled, but the 2-lap race meant the polesitter technically wins the race, and the drivers who qualified P2 and P3 make the podium by default, then that's a recipe for not just the worst F1 race, but probably the worst race in Motor Racing history.
