GJ Mosley/Ecclestone, you idiots.
Quote:Formula One has been thrown into chaos after the Formula One Teams Association (Fota) carried out its threat to set up a rival championship in 2010.
Eight of F1's major teams have been frustrated by deadlocked talks with world motorsport boss Max Mosley over his controversial budget cap proposals.
Fota added that its championship would put F1 fans first and boast the best drivers and sponsors.
"This series will have transparent governance, one set of regulations, encourage more entrants and listen to the wishes of the fans, including offering lower prices for spectators worldwide, partners and other important stakeholders," added the statement.
"The major drivers, stars, brands, sponsors, promoters and companies historically associated with the highest level of motorsport will all feature in this new series."
Teams Leaving: Brawn GP, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso
Teams Staying: Williams and Force India

OK the post above has too many smilies, it distracted me a bit from the reading lol. On topic, because I don't follow F1 racing religiously, this comes as a total surprise.
The teams leaving look like all the big names.

Well. They're all big names really.
But yeah, F1's been known to be a rich bastard's sport; If the budget cap would ever happen it should be like a side-league or something. How can we know how fast the F1s can really go if we chain 'em down with that kind of regulation? Wth.

The new "management" sounds good.
F1 has gotten pretty stale indeed.

yep, it's back to the good ol' f1. Actually, if you checked out the cars this year and the regulations that made them how they look like now(really plain looking and retarded). these are the results of the retarded rules that the clown max has been putting up.

Update: a few days ago,FIA and FOTA got into an agreement that the budget cap be scrapped, and they are to cut costs slowly over the course of a few years, ALSO with the condition that mosley not seek re election this OCtober....all's going well till....
Mosley NOW demands an apology from the leader of FOTA, and says that the peace agreement might be still in jeopardy if the apology is not performed......wow just wow....he's slowly digging his own grave here...

Maybe that's their mental age. Can't buy maturity.

. all I can say is that the FIa should have booted max mosley the moment his scandal went out. I mean why still listen to an old dude who was a fetish for dominatrices
? now the fia has bullshit teams left with them that no one, and I say NO ONE(as an avid f1 fan myself) will even try to mention, let alone watch.
