If it weren't for Goodyear having a history of being shown the door in several racing series, after they became the sole provider... and sometimes even when they weren't. Well then I might be more inclined to to think that Tony was just being colorful Tony again.
This other post race interview puts a little calmer face onto his position and his view of how bad the race was and that he wasn't the only driver to feel that way.

A long time tried and true ideal of racing is that competition raises the bar. This applies to anything related to racing. When you remove the need for competition then people (and corporations) get complacent and don't push the envelope anymore. Because of cost and risk of failure. When Goodyear gained the sole provider contract, they no longer had competition. They can maximize profits by minimizing costs. I'm sure they are fulfilling their contractual obligations, but how do you obligate someone/something to compete against itself. The risk they didn't consider is what is happening now.
