The amendment to the sporting regulations proposed by the World Motorsport Council was not performed in accordance with the procedure provided for by Appendix 5 of the Sporting Regulations and, as per the provisions of the article 199 of the FIA International Sporting Code, it is too late for FIA to impose a change for the 2009 season that has not obtained the unanimous agreement of all the competitors properly entered into the 2009 Formula 1 Championship.

So what happens now?
Two options I suppose:
1/ Mossy accepts that he made an error of judgement and withdrawas his illegal suggestion, or
2/ Mossy, unable to cope with an affront to his universal authority over everything, goes into attack mode.
One wonders what the odds for each might be.

If I were a bookmaker, I'd refuse bets on option 2). Two options I suppose:

Either way, Spanky Max doesn't have a lot of time to sort

I REALLY, REALLY hope they are in the right on this one.
I think the whole thing is just another "Bernie Ploy" to generate interest before the season starts.
When the cars leave the grid in a copuple of Sunday's time, they will be playing for points in the traditional way.

If the teams stick together and actually front this out with the stunted muppet I reckon he could end up with a massive omelette on his face, the likes not seen since the US GP in 2005 when all the Michelin runners stuck together and told him to f
