Formula 1 » Mosley: No guarantees for Prodrive.

Thursday, 6th December 2007

FIA president admits that 2008 entry won't roll over to 2009 season.


Comment on this Story
Mosley added Prodrive's decision to forego its entry for this season - which will see them lose the 300,000 Euro deposit they put down to secure a place on the grid - could also see them miss out in 2009, with no guarantee that the FIA would accept a future entry.

"There's nothing to stop them entering for 2009," he said. "At the request of his financial backers, David [Richards] asked me what guarantee could we give that his entry would be accepted in 2009. I had to tell him that he didn't have any guarantee.

"In the normal course of events, Prodrive's entry would be accepted [again], but the situation without the Concorde Agreement is as it was before the Concorde Agreement - people submit entries, and the FIA accepts or rejects them.

"They couldn't say anything about the goalposts moving. They entered under the regulations, and they entered for one year. They've paid the €300,000, and they'll probably lose that. But that's probably it. I don't think anybody is going to go after them. If Prodrive could be there, they would be there, but they haven't got the backing [of all the other teams]."
