Huh...

At least Mosley's agreed not to run for re-election...



Deal reached to avoid breakaway F1 series

Reuters, Wednesday June 24 2009

* Breakaway F1 series averted after deal reached
* Teams win battle with Mosley who will not seek re-election (adds details, quotes)

PARIS, June 24 (Reuters) - A deal has been reached with Formula One teams to avoid a breakaway series next year, FIA president Max Mosley said on Wednesday.

Mosley and eight teams had been at loggerheads over his plans to introduce a budget cap for 2010.

"There will be no split. We have agreed to a reduction of costs," Mosley was quoted as saying by media.

"There will be one F1 championship but the objective is to get back to the spending levels of the early '90s within two years."

Mosley, who earlier in the week hinted he wanted to stay on in his post, also indicated he would not stand for re-election as the head of the sport's governing body.

Media said next year's rules would be the same as this season.

A meeting of the FIA's World Motor Sport Council had taken place in Paris while the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) had been due to meet in Bologna on Thursday to discuss their plans for a breakaway.

The feud between Mosley and most of the teams has been brewing for months although the FIA seemed to soften its stance before last weekend's British Grand Prix when it said it would agree to rule changes if the teams committed to Formula One.

FOTA was in a position of strength; IMHO they should have pushed for more, including purging Bernie.

Maybe with any luck, Bernie will OD on Viagra!! Got to admire his business model for the last 30 years whatever. The fans love Silverstone, they have improved access roads which I remember were real narrow country roads for the most part. Drivers love it, Bernies a PIA

"If an F1 car crashes in Turkey, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound...?"

We need to get the races back to the fan base - Europe, North America, Brazil, Mexico.

I remember people rationalizing that Max should see out his term after his Nazi porn scandal "because he wouldn't run for re-election and would go away soon anyway". Yeah, right.

Good news, nevertheless.

Agreed, but have you been to the Turkish GP? Too hot/humid for my taste (I won't go to the Malaysian GP for that reason), but supposedly the women are gorgeous. I have a single girl friend from Istanbul and men just about throw themselves at her feet...
