Why did the BBC report it over the weekend as if it was breaking news when this has been going on for months?
As far as I am concerned, F1 belongs to those who put the money into it:
The Teams, The Circuits, The Sponsors, and The Fans. The first three could easily form themselves into a Consortium to control the rules, the TV rights and the venues, with maybe some input from the Fans about facilities and ticket prices.
They don’t need a third party like Bernie at all, they can appoint a Commercial Director with a salary to do any negotiating. Any profits made are split between all those above, with an emphasis on technology, new drivers and lowering ticket prices.
They don’t need Max and the FIA to meddle with the rules either. The FIA is only there to supervise the safety aspect, provide neutral stewards for inspection and timing, arrange the marshalls and confirm that everyone is keeping to the mutually agreed rules. Thats it. They might be allowed a percentage of the profit to pass onto the doctors, marshalls etc, but not very much.
It amazes me that Max still has not recognised that the split is now a reality. Didn’t he read the letter or whatever FOTA sent him last Wednesday? The man really is an idiot.
And why should the teams agree to Bernie as a go-between? Even at this late stage he only believes in the status quo, with the Commercial Rights holder being allowed to keep all the profit. Bye bye Bernie…..

people need to read Joe Saward’s interview with Max Mosley in 1991 before he became president of FIA.
I read it earlier on Joe’s site and it was like Deja Vu.
Almost word for word about what people are saying now about Max.
