I prefer the FOTA to start a new championship and put an end to this charade.
This will end CVC's and Bernie's stronghold on the F1 money and will also mean the end of Max Mosley as FIA president, as I doubt he will be re-elected if F1 loses the most valuable teams.
All FOTA will have to do is get an agreement with the people who will be in charge of the FIA after Max' departures.Michael Schumacher The Best Ever F1 Driver

It also means Bernie and CVC can maintain or even increase their profitability of F1. These smalkl teams havn't the gravitas to negiotiate a reasonable share and will be content with a more modest purse with the budget cut in place.
Max will not get voted off the FIA. It's virtually impossible the way he has structured it. The best thing that can happen is that the biggest member countries break away.
The FIA is quickly losing it's reason for existing.

CVC would never be able to repay their RBS debt with left over money.Michael Schumacher The Best Ever F1 Driver
