The strike was averted

Lors d?une réunion organisée dans le motor-home de Toyota, les représentants des écuries et les pilotes ont pu se concerter avant le départ du septième Grand Prix de la saison.

The idea was to show the ability of the teams to come together and control the spectacle offered by the F1. Max Mosley, who followed the events on television, could have realized the power of those entered in the 2009 championship.

A few days ago, Max Mosley put FOTA up against the wall by advising team representatives to create their own championship, leaving 1 F2010 to new teams.

Alonso was one of the first to speak out: “I'm not interested in the new regulations. I'm not in F1 to do GP2. This model interests neither the drivers nor the sponsors. »

“It’s a nightmare,” continued Felipe Massa, who gives his full support to Ferrari in the standoff between him and the FIA. “As pilots, we wanted to be together and informed of the situation. It was also an opportunity to give our opinion on subjects that affect us very directly. We are in F1 because it is the benchmark discipline. Mr Mosley wants to change things and I fear that his F1 has nothing to do with the very high level. »

The Fédération Internationale de l?Automobile will make the entry list for the 1 F2010 World Championship official on Friday June 12. Thirteen places are up for grabs. McLaren, Ferrari, BMW, Renault,Toyota, Toro Rosso, Red Bull and Brawn committed under conditions. A dozen other stables (including Williams and Force India) applied without reservation.
