Re: United States Not-so-Gran Prix

Okay, here's a point I don't understand.  I read that the Michelin tired 
teams offered to run the race as non-points if they could get a 
chicane.  Why, then, if they were willing to do that, would they be 
reluctant to take a points penalty for changing tires between qualifying 
and racing????
