A Bluff Called
June 18th, 2009
In a stunning, yet not unforeseen turn of events, FOTA has stayed united and told the FIA to bugger off. In 2010 Ferrari will not be in the FIA F1 World Championship. The first time in 60 years.
BBC F1 teams drop breakaway bombshell
Autosport FOTA teams to launch breakaway series
Grandprix F1 teams set to form breakaway series
Now stories have sprung up that the tracks will follow FOTA too. Monaco would not be happy to be hosting a lesser series. An Italian GP at Monza where there are no Ferrari’s doesn’t bear thinking about…
I do feel bad for Williams. They left FOTA to return to the FIA and got booted for their trouble. At least Williams can expect to start winning in 2010…
I have to admit, I’m genuinely surprised. I didn’t think they’d be crazy enough to go through with it. Neither did Dungeon Max I guess.
did i hear on the radio this morning that everyone is back together again?
Or was I misinformed?
See, I can pretend to care about your non-sport.
Yeah, Dungeon Max agreed to step down so FOTA agreed not to take their ball and go to a different park.
