Mosley To Meet FOTA?

There are unconfirmed reports that Max Mosley is to meet the FOTA in Paris next week. No doubt this is to try and ease the tension between the teams and FIA. If that is possible remains to be seen but no doubt further teams will come forward to say their willing to quit over the proposed cost capping rule changes in 2010.

This all smacks of a breakaway formula... Which has been threatened for a long time. It's about time the FIA realise that FOTA are serious and people will tune in to see Ferrari, Renault and BMW etc over a group of privateer racers... No matter even if the formula is called 1.

FOTA will end up controlling Formula 1 in conjunction with the FIA or there will be a separate formula... In the meantime if just Ferrari leave they will probably go into GT racing or maybe even an American formula... So I'll be booking my tickets for Le Mans if Ferrari are going to be there in an official capacity.
