    so is this true

    Ferrari will not be a part of Formula One from next season after the team pulled out over its objection to a spending cap, it has been confirmed.
    The famous and popular Italian firm made its intentions known in a statement on the team's website, which read: "We confirm our opposition to the new technical regulations adopted by the FIA and do not intend entering our cars in the 2010 F1 Championship."

    If Ferrari want to leave, let them. They will suffer themselves if they do, much more than F1. OK viewing figures would go down in Italy, but I will still watch - and to be honest it would be good to see a championship without a ridiculous Ferrari bias to it.

    The new budget cap brings in smaller teams and privateers and allows them to do well, which is what F1 used to be and still should be about. If the manufacturers don't like it, tough luck really. The economic climate means teams need an incentive to join.

    And we could see some drivers from across the pond finally given a chance as F1 has been too closed-shop for too long.

    The problem is other big teams are also threatening to pull out. It could get to a stage where Force India's and the safety car will be the only cars on the track.
