Ferrari refused to let the organizers slow the run up to the cambered
curves so Michelin stayed out.
I doubt Ferrari had anything to do with it.  Michelin just failed to bring 
the right equipment and tried to get the track changed to fit their tires, 
plain 
and simple.  After being there for 5 years, plus who knows how many other 
non 
F1 races there, they should know what tires to bring, since they never have 
had the problem before. The F1 people said no, it was against the rules to 
make 
a change that no one had practiced with.
