Briatore wants deal with FIA

Often the first to take offense at the measures of the international federation, Flavio Briatore poses this time as an apostle of wisdom. Yet, Renault threatened not to continue F1 if the FIA ​​does not reconsider the positions of its new 2010 regulations. But the boss of the French team, aware of the importance of the FOTA-FIA meeting this Friday, does not want to behave irresponsibly. “ I want to be clear about the fact that we, Ferrari and the other teams do not intend to clash with the FIA » declared the boss ofAlonso and Piquet in the Gazzetta dello Sprt.

Often the first to lead the revolt and heat up the debates, Flavio Briatore does not want to play with the future of his team, on the pretext of bad negotiations with Max Mosley and the members of the FIA. However, he does not forget to question the way the federation makes its decisions, as well as the legitimacy it demonstrates. “ We want to be there, participate, ensure the future of our discipline. We are Formula 1, the FIA ​​should only be the referee. We should be the ones to write the rules, and not have them imposed by Max without him referring to anyone. »

As for the idea of ​​a parallel championship, mentioned by Ferrari, which would bring together the major manufacturers, Briatore is not in favor of it. “ This is a hypothesis that everyone wants to avoid. We are in a difficult time and we must find solutions at all costs. » If the team bosses are in this state of mind, resolute but diplomatic, the FIA ​​should reconsider its positions. Otherwise, Formula 1 would not be in its first period of heated debates.
