Unfortunately FOTA used the power of the manufacturers & the fans to work themselves into a VERY strong position ... & then betrayed us by caving in & looking after their own interests.

The fans wont see any benefit whatsoever from the FIA/FOTA agreement.
GP's will still be held at the highest bidding circuits,
we will still see our favourite circuits opt out because they lose money,
we will still be asked to pay ridiculous prices,
the show wont improve significantly at all.

Perhaps we should start a Formula One Fans Association? (www.fansassociation.org)
We can boycott races, manufacturers brands, sponsors products, etc ... until we too are heard & have our say?

I can't help but think that they will regret their decision in the coming months - the momentum that FOTA had has been lost, and the opportunity for a split may not occur again...

We didn't honestly expect the FOTA to actually go ahead with the threat. We were all wishing and praying for it to happen but in the end we'll just have same sht different race and year.
