The FIA have now released the below press statement making it clear that the FIA are planning to sue the FOTA over a breach of contract. Previously Ferrari have made it clear they think the FIA have already breached their contract so I'm assuming they will claim that in court. However if Ferrari are forced to race in Formula One what would stop them entering an old car and pulling out on lap one every race? It starts getting silly... What if Ferrari just decide to start pulling out of races now in protest of being sued? This is going to get messy...

The FIA and FOTA
The FIA’s lawyers have now examined the FOTA threat to begin a breakaway series. The actions of FOTA as a whole, and Ferrari in particular, amount to serious violations of law including wilful interference with contractual relations, direct breaches of Ferrari's legal obligations and a grave violation of competition law. The FIA will be issuing legal proceedings without delay.
Preparations for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship continue but publication of the final 2010 entry list will be put on hold while the FIA asserts its legal rights.
