Michelin in trouble at Indy
It appears that Michelin are in big problems at Indy, the Michelin teams might not be running during Practise 3.
What happens if Michelin decide to pull their cars, can they run a GP with 6 cars?

I predict more trouble for Michellin. If the Michellin-drivers have problems during the free practises, the race will a disaster.

I'm afraid so, but on the other hand I can't believe they won't have a better tyre to provide the teams with....

Michelin are not allowing the majority of their cars to run on the banking, and are advising them to run on the infield.
Frankly, I doubt that we will see any cars withdraw from the race. Formula 1 would install a tyre chicane in the short chute before they allow Michelin to withdraw and compromise a Grand Prix.
