Stoddart said most F1 teams had lost faith in Mosley - the president of F1's governing body the FIA - and repeated calls for his resignation.
He said Mosley resisted all attempts to solve the problem of Michelin being unable to guarantee its tyres' safety, and claims this was politically motivated.
However, in response to the request from Michelin teams for a chicane to be added to the circuit to make it safer, Mosley said:
“Modern Formula One cars are specially prepared for each circuit. To change radically a circuit like Indianapolis, which has very peculiar characteristics, would be a big disadvantage to the teams which had brought correct equipment to the event.”
He also said that even though the Michelin teams offered to race for no points, it would have been unfair on the teams running on Bridgestone tyres that had gone “all the way to America to run in a non-Championship race”.
“It would be like saying there could be no medals in the Olympic rowing because some countries had brought the wrong boats,” he added.
Mosley also said that it was his personal opinion that Michelin should compensate the fans that turned up for the race.
