Michelin officially blames special dynamic effects of turn 13 to generate loads far superior to the maximum estimation of their engineers.
What do you think was this special dynamic effect if it wasn't resonance?
how about the increased load that a banked corner places on the outer shoulder of tire? Its amazing how you can read anything to fit your pre drawn conclusion.
The increased load that a banked corner places on the outer shoulder of a tire isn't special at all and would not have been overlooked by Michelin. They knew the track from years ago and they knew the downforce their customer teams produced that year. They knew the speeds probably down to 3-5 kph. They even knew how different cars would use the tyres differently. How could they fail to take something so simple into account in their physical model.
The one thing they did not know and could not foresee was the lateral oscillation which Michelin called bobbing and that occurred on the side wall. That was the only special physical effect.
