Letter from Representatives of Michelin to Charlie Whiting, the FIA Formula One Race Director:
Letter from Charlie Whiting, the FIA Formula One Race Director, in reply to above letter from Representatives of Michelin:
Dear Mr Dupasquier,
Dear Mr Shorrock,
Thank you for your letter of today's date.
As explained in our earlier letter, your teams have a choice of running more slowly in Turn 12/13, running a tyre not used in qualifying (which would attract a penalty) or repeatedly changing a tyre (subject to valid safety reasons).
It is for them to decide. We have nothing to add.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Whiting
FIA Formula One Race Director
