Haug: We won't be out long

At Indianapolis all the teams are ready at the grid with ten minutes to go before the start of the US Grand Prix. The F1 teams supplied by Michelin are likely to pull out of the race early for the sake of their driver's safety. Norbert Haug confirmed at the grid the McLaren cars won't be seen for long.

"I don't think you will see us long out there. We will pull in the cars very early in the race because the driver's safety is our highest priority. It is a shame for all the spectators here but safety is more important than a good show."
