With all the discussions between FOTA and the FIA over next years rules and regulations I thought I'd find out what the fans of F1 (e.g. PHers) actually want to happen. As far as I see it there are currently three options open for the FOTA teams:
- the FOTA prefered option of entering F1 using the 2009 regulations (this assumes Max changes his mind
- enter into F1 and stick to the budget cap regulations the FIA have set out
- go off and set up their own series

Note: I know that there could be a number of options that act as a compromise between FOTA/FIA proposals, but I want to keep this simple and without a dozen different scenario's.

Edit Correct the year in option 1

The option that sees F1 free of Mosely with minimum collateral damage to the sport gets my vote. I voted for 1 on the assumption that makes his position untenable, but if it takes option 3 to be rid of him, let it burn.

I want them all to drive milk floats with wings and slicks and tow caravans with dogs and rusty old bikes in them.

Yeah you issed option 4:

"FOTA + Williams, Force India and anyone else that wants a crack racing whatever they like with BE and MM fked right off."

In the absence of that I'll vote for 3.

Surely options 1 & 2 are the same thing?

I strongly support the idea of a budget cap with freer technical regulations, I'd just like to see a slightly higher cap (which we effectively have now as its $40m excluding engines, drivers, marketing, I think).
