Amar7605, that is an interesting point. Apparently DC begged Red Bull to let him race. Over DC's garage Red Bull errected a homemade sign on a sheet reading "Sorry fans." He said in an interview that he felt sick about not racing. Sato apologized on the SpeedTV broadcast as well. The bottom line is, where were the big appologies to the fans? A driver saying their sorry really doesn't mean much because ultimately they had the least choice of all. IMO the order of blame goes 1. FIA. 2. Michellin. 3. Michellin messed up but tried to make the race happen in a safe and fair manner. IMO see #1 again.
While it is a good plan to get F1 fans at the CC race, I'm not sure how many are going to travel to Cleveland. If they have more than a couple thousand I'd be surprised. (not that it isn't a good idea to try to convert a couple thousand)
