Could a chicane have been built safely?
Given the layout of IMS, the narrow straight on the run to turn 13, could a tire chicane have been safely built to avoid cars spearing into a wall at over 100 mph?
Keep in mind there's a wall seperating the oval warmup lane with the race track, so the chicane would have had to be very early on the exit of turn 12, which may have made it pointless as to not reducing speeds enough going into turn 13. I assume the chicane would have to be a turn down towards the infield and then back up, because the other way would be the dangerous position I mentioned earlier of cars spearing into the wall.
I think I may have just answered my own question but perhaps there's some marshals out there who are better familiarized with FIA spec track layout.
And just to fit in with everything else: 100% Michelin's fault. The "race" was run, how can you expect to get a refund?
