| The next turn of events will be interesting - F1 will be dead without the big boys and they know it. It maybe another couple of months before an agreement is reached but I do expect one as well.

| Wow ....
Did not check on any news in past 24 hours because have been moving, and wake up to hear this.
Another split in open wheel racing would be a disaster in my opinion, and do believe that FOTA is doing this to negotiate with the FIA.

SILVERSTONE, England(AP)—Formula One intends to sue the eight teams that announced plans for a rival series next season - the biggest crisis to engulf the sport since the championship began in 1950.
The governing body accused the Formula One Teams Association of “serious violations of law.” The breakaway came after Ferrari, championship leader Brawn GP and six other teams failed to resolve a dispute over the introduction of a budget cap for next season.
“The actions of FOTA as a whole, and Ferrari in particular, amount to serious violations of law, including willful interference with contractual relations, direct breaches of Ferrari’s legal obligations and a grave violation of competition law,” the organization said in a statement.

The ruling body, known as FIA, has delayed publishing the final entry list for the 2010 season. It said it will begin legal proceedings “without delay.”
FIA president Max Mosley is trying to prevent the departure of Ferrari, which has participated since that inaugural series, Brawn GP, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso.

Following today's World Motor Sport Council meeting held in Paris, FIA President Max Mosley stated that an agreement has been reached with the FOTA alliance, thereby putting an end to the rebel teams' plans to set up a breakaway series next year.
"There will be no split," Mosley announced. "We have agreed to a reduction of costs."
Mosley added: "There will be one F1 championship but the objective is to get back to the spending levels of the early 1990s within two years."

The British GP is the one I'd go see even if they still raced here in NA. | |

FOTA should go ahead with the breakaway series. Max will go down in history as the man who killed F1. | |
