I am glad to hear that the companies are finally standing up to FIA. I hope Montreal get a race in the new series. :-D

Does anyone remember the CART/IRL split? It killed Open wheel racing in the US.

The solution to this issue is....

Max must announce that he is NOT running again at the end of his term (Up this October I do believe) and Bernie MUST release the millions upon millions owed to teams AND the Concorde Agreement MUST be rewritten to give the teams more television revenues, including the smallest teams.

As soon as this happens, Formula 1 is whole again and it is business as usual. Until then screw Bernie and Max! Greedy power hunger dicks!

Ecclestone just said the cap needs to be removed so then the manufacturers will continue.

It's all over! Max is NOT rerunning for his position in October and FOTA have dropped their conditions and canned the breakaway series.

Bernie felt his empire was threatened so he stepped in to help broker the deal.
