Wow! A lot of speculating here! I think we should wait for a an official response from Bernie and Max before jumping to conclusions.
Personally, I see a compromise on the horizon.

Wow! A lot of speculating here! I think we should wait for a an official response from Bernie and Max before jumping to conclusions.
Personally, I see a compromise on the horizon.
Lola and N Tech both have withdrawn form the reserve list - that doesn't leave the FIA much to fill its grid with, a few teams with nothing more than intentions and 2 teams with cars but no engines
Iīm still thinking if the split is a good idea... IRL-CART split didnīt bring anything good.
Yes, FIA is as rotten as a 1-month dead rat, and yes, we need a change. But NO! We donīt need two rival series who are sucking each otherīs life. If the split happens, FOTA has the big names, but FIA has the F1. Who will the fans follow? If the split happens, Iīd try to follow both, although F1 would be just a shadow of what it was.
Anyway, thereīs a lot of people to blame: Max, Bernie and yes, the FOTA. Who thinks FOTA is 100% transparent?
Oh my God, they did it.
The FIA is guilty about that. I want to see a racing series with the best teams and the best driver how they fight about the world title, and not which team has the lowest budget. OK, I also want that the Formula One get cheaper, especially for manufacturers because I want to see a lot of teams and drivers.
Anyway, they did it and we have got almost the same situation like in the USA, with their IndyCars. I will watch the races of both series though.
There’s still the MotoGP, NASCAR, IndyCar Series, and DTM.
I hope Bernie has nothing to do with the FOTA teams - but I'm also worried about the possible involvement of DORNA - they've been taking MotoGP down the same road as F1/Bernie.
Sky Italy have confirmed that they will stay with Ferrari and cover the "Breakaway Series".
I wonder what will happen next year. Will FOTA have time to set up a new championship in that time, or will the 8 teams take a sabbatical? How much will Bernie/FIA sue Ferrari and Red Bull for?
we wait some moreQuote:

This problem has only one solution: Max and Bernie must go. Unfortunately one is too stupid and one too greedy for this to happen. Ther're just dispecable.
More posturing by FOTA. 8 months to set up a new series is a big challenge but still possible to pull off.
