Good-bye Bernie, Good-bye Max. I believe FOTA wil give us something special to watch, and I particularly don't mind if they splash money on better machinery. It would be good to see 900 plus HP cars again. I think FOTA will do something special for the new era of F1, though it may take a few years.I'm sure this site will hear from all the Ferrari haters but please try and remember the teams are all in this together. I believe Bernie is bitch slapping Max around in a motor home at the moment. It was only a matter of time before everything caught up with them. Hmmm...greed and dictatorship, deffinately a losing combo...the Lawman :) :)

The first few years of the IRL were great!

The IRL ran crapwagons on ovals and CART ran monster open wheelers everywhere. All the tracks had dates including 4 tracks within easy driving distance.

This did not last, but it was good for a few years of full weekend entertainment.

If not for the split, how we would never have known about Buzz Calkins and Billy Boat?

The CART/IRL split broke down because CART could not live without Indy. Monaco is a similar glamor track.

Bernie holds at least one ace. His tracks in Turkey, Dubai, China, Donnington, etc. are deuces.

Lets hope the teams learn from the past. When a breakaway series was being proposed decades ago one of the protagonists rose to be spokesman and organiser and promptly stitched up his fellows with a weasel worded contract and has been fleecing the sport ever since, one Bernie Ecclestone. And the reason for the split in the first place was the power crazed dictatorial style of the then head of the FIA J M Balestre whom Mosley ousted only to become the same style of dictator.

JMB is clinking a champagne glass in heaven (or hell).

The more things change - the more they stay the same.

Anybody remember the FISA/FOCA war?

A penny for Bernie's thoughts right now?

As I predicted 2 days ago on these pages, His investment has/will go up in smoke. And rightly so!
For all the historical inaccuracies of the following statement, it still rings true: Even Ceaser lost his empire.

How prophetic Sir Jackie

I think that being a fly on the wall in the meetings to come will be infinitely more exciting than any of the racing in recent years.
I just hope FOTA hold there nerve and finally break the dictatorial stranglr hold that Bernie and Max have on the 'Sport'

As a formula one fanatic from South Africa me and many others agree with the break away as politics and pocket lining has played a big roll in the past.
PLEASE!!! tell them we need a race in Cape town south africa. The stands will not be big enough to handle all the people as every man and his dog would love to see a rce live in this country.

F1 is dead, long live FOTA.

Max's perverse Power/Domination game has cooked F1's goose, I will do everything I can to support FOTA's championship and everything possible to stop the farce of F1 under greedy incompetent Bernie and Max's stewardship.

FOTA is a joke - watch the worst compromise in history about to unfold.

So in 2010 we have the option of walking to Donnington building site (bailiffs collecting the ticket money at the gate) to watch Mad Max race Bernie (whips to speed up the competitors optional) or Silverstone to watch a race organised by a former World Champion, who presumably knows a bit about F1, and being contested by McLaren, Ferrari, Brawn, Massa, Hamilton and Button. Going to be difficult to choose, isn't it?
