Michael Schumacher wins ahead of Rubens Barrichello. Monteiro takes 3rd with Karthikeyan, Albers and Friesacher making the rest of the field.
The Michelin runners pitted on the formation lap after Michelin advised them their tyres were not safe to compete in the race

It is all confusing at this stage but most likely the Michelin runners will go out in reverse order of their qualifying result

A press release from the Minardi team boss Paul Stoddart
?First of all, our sincere apologies go out to the race fans, both here at Indianapolis and indeed, around the world, for the farce that took place at Indianapolis this afternoon. This really was a time when Formula One needed to put sport above politics, but sadly, this did not occur. Earlier on today, nine of the 10 competing teams had agreed that, in the interests of safety, a temporary chicane needed to be placed before the final turn, and that unless that took place, the nine teams would not compete.
?This idea was rejected by FIA President, Max Mosley, and in no uncertain terms, the teams were told that, should this occur, there would be no race. This, in my opinion, is clearly not in the interests of the sport, the American public, or Formula One fans around the world.
?I have complete sympathy with the Michelin teams, and can take neither satisfaction from, nor interest in, this afternoon?s race, if you can call it that. For the avoidance of doubt, Minardi only participated when it became clear that Jordan had changed its decision to compete from this morning.
?I sincerely hope that valuable lessons are taken away from here today before we destroy the sport we love with politics. A solution, which would have allowed the United States Grand Prix to have proceeded unaffected today existed, but was resisted by the FIA and not supported by Ferrari, who claimed it was not their problem.?
