Once again the FIA further show their stupidity and how far up their own backsides they are.
I love quotes like this.
[quote]The FIA and FOM have together spent decades building the FIA Formula One World Championship into the most watched motor sport competition in history.

In light of the success of the FIA's Championship, FOTA - made up of participants who come and go as it suits them

I may have voted wrong.  ;D

I guess I forgot to include
"they both buckle"

seems both sides are getting twitchy and nervous as we get to zero hour.
Stay strong FOTA, your own series and rules are but a few days away.

And that is that.

As a side note, while I'm not getting too excited for the cars of next year (the manufacturers have stated they will design them based on the original F1 rules for 2010) I am hoping come 2011 we'll see the return of proper looking racing cars.

Well, s***

[ShaneG_old]

Looks like I voted correctly after all.


Now, how many follow suit, and how many chicken out at the last minute? :-?

Can they really pull this off with just 8 teams?

How funny would it be, if this gets done right, and then Max & the FIA come asking to participate in it?

Some time back, Whiplash Max said, "I am not a fascist", whilst being flogged by Nazi hookers. Well Max, you have certainly been strutting around like one for a while, my way or no way . Bets on Max being asked (in private of course) to take early retirement after successfully dismantling F1.

I have been watching F1 since 1976, not sure I can be bothered with next year. The media will whip it up, but a field full of newbie teams being driven by a bunch of no name drivers......RIP F1.

Edit. FIA takes legal action..... Did not take long did it

Mmmm...

It'll all be sorted, but if Alonso happens to end up without a seat next year I won't mind. In one of his interviews he says he'd like to do Le Mans - yeah right, obviously no one's told him he'd have to share the drive and glory.

They'll shout, bicker and finger point at each other for 6 months, then realise it'll be easier to just carry on. Too many commercial interests at stake.

You are probably right. The interesting point though is the poisoned Dwarf. Bets on him doing the commercial rights side if the FOTO championship gets off the ground. "There is no conflict of interest, I am just representing two entirely different motor sport championships"
