that was one of the points that was brought up during the telecast al. michelin makes tires that last on cars that are nearly 1000lbs heavier, so it doesn't really make much sense that they would throw a turd at the F1 cars.
the 7 teams that pulled off the track and reps from michelin will be called before an FIA hearing this coming week.
i don't know exactly what can be discussed. the tires were not safe at all. best they could do is yell at michelin and tell the teams they should have tried to compete in some way.
BTW, F1's complaining about teh US just got more amuzing to me. i found out the fee the FIA charges a facility is over $10million. interesting, they pay to have teh race, they pay for all teh promotion, and the FIA can't promise a competitive event.

later
