[Rules] Red Bull and STR break FOTA front

[climb]

According to italiaracing.net (in English)

http://italiaracing.net/notizia.asp?id=23621&cat=1

Mateschiz has just realized he doesn't belong in the same world alongiside Toyota BMW Ferrari and Mercedes

He could do it earlier, but all's well that ends well

[Oldtony]

Not exactly a highly credible source, and strongly denied by Horner. Would suggedt this is more Max hoping than Mate****z jumping.

[Bononi]

I don't believe it also... Climb, I know that they're staying with FOTA and for all good reasons.

[climb]

Italiaracing were probably wring, tho I don't see all these good reasons to keep with FOTA

[Bononi]

All good reasons that only they know !!

[Satorian]

Ferrari, RBR and STR all denied unconditional entries in press statement and still side with FOTA.


Go FOTA!

I've read several suggestions:

The FOTA teams take over A1GP(wich has contracts with TV stations and circuits)

The FOTA have been talking to Dorna(organisers of MotoGP) to start a new series

the ACO have invited all FOTA teams to race at Le Mans where they can have a say in the rules.

Circuits are less than FIA standard and TV contracts are less than FOM standard.

Dorna boss denies that he has been approached by FOTA.

Just as long as they only get "a say" things should be alright.

Brands Hatch,Assen,Sepang,Gold Coast(Surfers paradise) and the new Algarve circuit are very good venues and there are always some circuits who have'nt been on the F1 list: Zolder,The Le Mans Bugatti circuit,Silverstone is'nt on the F1 calender next year, and how about Montreal and Indianapolis??

There's a place...

I hope this is resolved soon because its detrimental to the sport. The teams will have a very difficult time retaining sponsors because A1GP etc. do not have the viewers that F1 does. I thought the teams were going to break away and form their own series under their own governorship, that would have been a disaster.

I want to see a compromise reached maybe with a 100mil cap for 2010. If not then the break needs to be made quickly so the teams and (fill in the blank) can join forces.

For the US fans it will probably be the most detrimental because F1 would not be F1 anymore. It would evolve eventually but the first few years would be rough and I am not sure Speed would carry the other series with the manufacturers.

Max will agree to a cap of 130mil and then fine the FOTA teams 100mil each for bringing the sport into disrepute.

Yes,that's one scenario.

Of course,there is a more obvious one.

LOL knowing him, he just might. I think most will agree that the main issue here is Max. If he is out of the picture I am sure the teams will be more receptive and more than likely the new dictator wont be as dictatorial.
