Mosley will not bow to FOTA

If the nine member teams of FOTA, the team association, have re-registered for 2010, the conditions they have weighed do not seem to suit Max Mosley. The will of FOTA - signing Concorde agreements and maintaining the regulations for 2010 - is not really to the taste of the boss of the federation, as he confided to Motorsport Aktuell. “ We are in conflict, we will see who wins. But I tell them one thing: if you want to race with your own rules, you can organize your championship! But we have the Formula 1. »

Max Mosley also finds that the team bosses miscalculated their deadlines: “ A Concorde agreement received so late cannot be signed before June 12 ”, as requested by FOTA members. Once the members of the latter re-registered, Mosley understood very well that the pressure had changed sides and that he had no obligation to respect their demands. “ We have been changing the rules regularly for 60 years and we will continue like this. » It now seems clear that the teams will not win the standoff they have started.
