3 class action lawsuits filed already!
I guess would make sense to hold on to those tickets.
Sadly they were against against F1, FIA and Michelin. I think they
should have included the Michelin running teams at the top.

Those teams have been so adept at shifting funds for so long there's
no point going after them. Get to Bernie and Max and Michelin, who
have the leverage to subrogate the responsible parties.

But I guess the concern can me termend genuine since all the above
mentioned analogies are not voluntary as compared to the Indy fiasco
wherein the Michelin teams deliberately did not run. This surely cannot
be compared to a pileup at the first corner.

Analogy for what?

As to f/fgeorges analogies, I would suggest it is more akin to the boxers of
the feature event turning up without any gloves...and you can bet that
without a feature fight everybody would be asking for their money back. A
bit of shadow boxing from a second feature boxer would hardly be considered
acceptable.

A motor racing analogy would be a massive pile-up at the first corner
with not enough spare cars for every driver to make a re-start. Would
people still be screaming for a refund then?

For a race not having as many participants as people who bought tickets
expected it to have.
