Todt wasn't present because Mosley was [censored] him in the ass.

This entire debacle is disgusting. There is no doubt that Michelin is at fault here, but IMO, a bigger blame should be put on Todt and Mosley and the FIA for not willing to make this a race for the fans.
Sometimes you have to overlook the rules and do what's right for the fans.
Bastards.
