    Back Stabbed by FOTA

    I have been so angry from the moment i heard that FIA and FOTA have come together and they are going on Honeymoon again.


    So what happens to all the thinking i have done for the last 1 week. what about the dreams i had about the new series, the time taken to post in the forum? and dreams about MAX and bernie locked in loony bin?

    and the icing on the cake is that MAX the p**** will stay till october . and god knows what he will do after that

    Hope all this did not happen to me. Dam MAX and FOTA

    I don't think they are on a honeymoon again. FOTA got what they wanted. One, the FOTA members are going to be more involved in the decision process.

    Two, no budget caps, and most importantly, three Mosley is out.

    In principle there was nothing wrong with the FIA, it was just Mosley. So, now that he is gone (my understanding is effective immediatly), whoever will replace him would have to be someone who would be more in sync with all the players.

    PS Me too I was excited about the new series, but that's how it went.

    I still want to hear about guarantees, which say that Max will be definetely out. Only time will tell whether the deal was a success for FOTA.

    Mosley may be out, but if the current FIA system stays (with small automobile clubs having a majority), then really nothing will change in the future. Restructuring of the FIA should be the key here IMO. Both ACEA and FOTA demanded more transparent and objective governance.

    FIA knew that without oight out of ten F1 teams the championship would have the same audience as F2 does. So they had to give away to FOTA's interests. The agrrement has been rmade but what about peace?
    Max will be out, but what about Ecclestone who, indeed, is F1's cancer?

    With Max (hopefully) out of the way they will get rid of Bernie easily next time around if he will be still around that is.

    Next time, pay more attention to me. I made it very clear there will only be ONE series next year and all the current teams will be racing.

    max can not be forced to go unless he agrees or loses the election
    only reason to agree is money in his pocket, and somewhere many dollars are already shivering at the thought of maxie's cold fingers all over them

    Still leaves bernei who was and is the BIGGER problem by far

    No, it will be run into the ground in Tony George style, just with benie boy at the helm, instead of toni

    (FYI, if you ask benie he will tell you that just like the team owners, tonie ain't got hands big enough to hold his balls...whatever that means)
