I’ve emailed FOTA also. Dunno if they’ll listen to us. But i’m sure we have a better chance with them than a definite NO CHANCE with FIA.

A new series now is what is needed. I am sick and tired of all this bickering and dictating.

Set up the new series now and let williams and force india join up later when their contracts expire. Afterwards bring in the Lolas and the Aston Martins and then we will have a cracker of a championship with proper stable rules and proper circuits and hopefully proper (good looking) racing cars.

Leave Max and Bernie to themselves and watch as their F1 disappears when they dont have enough cars to fill a grid. Just wait and see……

Hounslow says:

A couple of days ago Max reminded everyone that any rule changes had to be unanimously agreed by all the entrant teams. At that stage, …

Good observation, but it goes back even earlier than that. Now we see why the entry date was moved up this year. Mosley needed the new teams entered before any settlement was reached with FOTA, so he could later have any such settlement negated, using the ploy that changes to Sporting Regs had to be approved by all teams entered.

Once again, Mosley shows himself to be an excellent strategist. Were he a chess player, I’d love a game against him.

thanks for the link persempre… check this out guys,

“This is because of the International Sporting Code and also because the entered teams have a contract with the FIA which not even the General Assembly or the World Council can abrogate. Anyone with an elementary knowledge of motor sport governance knows this. Imagine the uproar if, after the FOTA teams had entered, the World Council were subsequently to change the rules without asking them.”

Oh why didn’t FIA thought of it when it did the changes for 2010 regulations earlier. Basically, which started all this trouble???

Time for FOTA to stop the madness. Give FIA a one-week deadline to reach sensible (and binding) agreements.

Otherwise, start the new series. If so, I promise to:
- watch every race (duh)
- buy products from the advertisers
- purchase tickets to three races
