Several teams pulled into the pits ahead of the start of the U.S. Grand Prix, leaving just six cars to start the race.
Several of the 10 two-car teams had said they would only race if an extra chicane was installed for safety reasons because of concern over the durability of the tyres.
The sport's governing body ruled out the chicane while champions Ferrari were also against the idea.
The six cars that started the race appeared to be those on Bridgestone tyres.
Williams technical director Sam Michael said new tyres brought in by Michelin from France overnight after failures in practice on Friday had been ruled out after tests by the company.
"The only solution is to have the chicane...if that happens, Michelin will approve the tyres to race. They will not give approval otherwise," Michael said 90 minutes before the official start of the race. |
