Looks like Max isn't going down without a fight...he's trying to break up FOTA again and says "might" seek re election again in October. |

I was at the Canadian GP a few years ago and didn't get any feel for them not wanting English only speaking visitors. We had a great time and would have no hesitation going back. I've also been to Silverstone for the British GP, also a great time.

said by bjf123  :Now, let's see if Montreal or Indy can get back on the calendar eh, Indy to me is an oval course that has a makeshift road course and even though Montreal is a good venue the people don't really want english speaking visitors so it doesn't seem like a big loss to me.
The British GP is the one I'd go see even if they still raced here in NA. |

Glad to hear they got everything worked out. Now, let's see if Montreal or Indy can get back on the calendar (I think there's a better shot at Montreal).

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."

I think it's just more posturing. I saw somewhere that Bernie is now in favor of dropping the budget caps. He knows that F1 needs Ferrari, and to a lesser extent McLaren and the others. I still think they'll work something out. There's a meeting of some sort on Wednesday with the World Motor Sport Council. Maybe if they throw Max out, things can move forward.

For all the talk Max is saying that they will reach a agreement FOTA says it's too late.

said by Warzau :The plot thickens, You know who the fans will side with. This one is a dozy, the manufacturers have really deep pockets. To boot piss off Fota, Max is a moron. Yep. Without Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, et.al., F1 is dead. Most fans will not show up to watch Williams, Force India, USF1, etc., race.

quote:
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.
