Ferrari maintains its position

If the Italian team registered for 2010, it did so under conditions and hopes from the FIA ​​that it will reconsider its regulations for the next championship. Stefano Domenicali explained this at a press conference, announcing agreements that had not been respected. “ We had an agreement with the FIA. But we considered that the obligations included therein were not respected. The agreement was therefore no longer valid. " Indeed, Ferrari returns to the change of regulations by the FIA, carried out without any consultation.

However, the Ferrari boss refused to end the war with the FIA. “ This is not the solution we want to adopt. But we are in F1 For 60 years, we have tried to act responsibly so that the values ​​of F1 remain. This is why it is important to look at these conditions. »

In addition, Stefano Domenicali reminds that the teams are not against budget cuts. “ It should not be underestimated that this year, with FOTA, we have already reduced costs significantly. » But the manager of the Italian team insists on how to approach the changes, stressing that Max Mosley made his decisions unilaterally. “ Stability, governance, rules and how to change them, these are crucial points for the future of Formula 1. We want to find a way out of this impasse, which is not good for Formula 1 . »
