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 summoned to a meeting on June 29 by world governing body FIA.

FIA took the decision after the race descended into farce when the seven teams, among them Williams, McLaren and Renault pulled into the pit lane 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 summoning 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 summoned 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.

After Ralf Schumacher's high-speed accident in Friday's free practice in Indianapolis left the German driver so shaken he had to withdraw from the race, Michelin admitted it could not guarantee the durability of the tyres supplied for the race.

They pinned hopes on new tyres being flown in from its base at Clermont-Ferrand. But the FIA, refused to allow new tyres to be used, or a chicane to be set up to slow the cars.

But Michelin's competition deputy director Frederic Henry-Biabaud said on Monday they had no option but to withdraw.

"Michelin would have been to blame if it had raced. Do you imagine what would have happened if, having seen the failure on Friday, we had decided to race the tyre and we had a problem," he told Europe 1 radio station.

"I prefer, as a company, we find ourselves in this position rather than if there had been an accident."

He blamed the specifics of the Indianapolis track and he hit out at motor racing's governing body, the FIA, for failing to agree to a compromise.

"We proposed realistic, feasible alternatives," he added.

The FIA's stance was seen as a hardening of the battle lines between Mosley, and the car manufacturers who back the idea of a breakaway championship in the face of Mosley's raft of new regulations to simplify motor racing, to be brought in from the start of 2008.

Michelin's failure to supply its teams with safe and durable tyres came less than two weeks after it was warned by the FIA not to sacrifice safety for performance.

Mosley wrote to Michelin in the wake of Kimi Raikkonen's suspension failure in the European grand prix - caused by vibrations which built up after the Finn flat-spotted his right front tyre - warning it should take no risks in the specifications of its tyres.
