Default Yet another F1 row ...

Unbelievable ...

If I'm reading it right, Fota sat down at a meeting to discuss next year's rules, but the FIA said the eight teams had no right to participate as they weren't formally entered into next year's championship.

This despite prior statements implying all the teams were now going to take part. Is this Mosley pulling a fast one?

Well Bernie is close to his death bed... so he is trying to go out on a storm.


Walk away gentlemen..

You have the cars
You have the drivers
You have the brands
You will be able to book the circuits


No-one attends because they want to see Bernie and Max.


Have the gumption to go through with it.

The article doesn't mention Bernie's role in all this. I understood it was the teams trying to sit down with the FIA to agree next year's rules.

Bernie is always touted as the one man who can broker a deal ...

Burnie is the puppet master and Max is the puppet, the best thing that could happen is the teams breakaway and form their own GP

I hope they stick to their guns this time, and stick it to max and burnie, for too long those two have been bleeding and ruining F1!

Interesting to see Ari Vatenen going to stand for president of the FIA, a man with sense in a sea of Me, Me, Me's.
