http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,18954, ... 83,00.html Toyota are the first to give an indication of leaving should Max continue with his view of F1. Mercedes and Ferrari have also said they will go. Could the future for Le Mans be looking up. LOL. I know Charlie will be happy to hear it.

Only if they bring back Group C and remove the 2 daft chicanes. Oh, and re-straighten the bit after the Dunlop Bridge - I believe the namby-pamby MotoGP riders couldn't cope with an abrupt hairpin at the bottom of a hill...

Hell! Ferrari going up against uncle Max! They can kiss this years WDC goodbye now, no stewards desicions in there favour for this outrage!
Hopefully Max will stop this 'ruin F1 at all costs purely because i can' (and if Ferrari go, then i guess its goodbye McLaren, which is what he really really wants, deep down, in his dungeon).
Get rid of him, get someone in who cares about this 'sport' and not about his own legacy.

Ferrari make up about 40% of the income to the F1 circus. Lets see who blinks first.

They also provided the large model on Max mosley's desk when he was interviewed last month.
Well done Max, all when accusations of impartiality are flying around!
