The seven Formula One teams who failed to race in Sunday`s US Grand Prix over fears their Michelin tyres might be dangerous have been summonsed to a meeting on June 29 by world governing body FIA.
The FIA took the decision after the race descended into farce when the seven teams among them Williams, McLaren and Renault pulled into the pitlane after the warm-up lap leaving just six cars to race - Ferrari landing a 1- 2.
While the French tyre maker have refused to accept the blame - instead accusing FIA and their president Max Mosley of refusing to compromise over the problem - Mosley issued a statement summonsing the seven teams to FIA`s headquarters in Paris.
"Following the events that took place at the United States Grand Prix the representatives of the seven teams using Michelin tyres have been summonsed for a meeting on June 29 in Paris," read the statement.
Michelin have rejected any blame for advising seven Formula One teams to pull out of the US Grand Prix.
