FOTA vs FIA ... how its going to end
Discussion
Ferrari will sign with the FIA and get a massive pay-off and veto on technical changes for the next X years. And Brawn will do a deal too.
Sound familiar?
What would FOTA be left with without Ferrari and Brawn?
(Let's not forget that Red Bull and T.Rosso are cosidered by the FIA as unconditionaly signed as Williams and Force India are)
Renault, BMW, Toyota, Merc.
What series would you watch?

I reckon General Motorsport will be renamed FOTA General Gassing and too many motorsport fans will be drawn into giving a sh*t about this multi million pound p*ssing contest.
They are ALL looking foolish out of this debacle and I'm wondering why I should spend my valuable free time pandering to their pathetic posturing by supporting their grand prix?

This is about how it's going to end without FOTA nothing to do with breakaway races.elster said:

Well it happened before when Ferrari and Williams did the deal that broke them away from the GPMA and it is that very deal that Williams felt left them obliged to resign, and Ferrari to take the FIA to court earlier this year.Just replace Brawn for Williams this time, and expect McLaren and maybe Renault to follow later but get fined for a late entry
Ferrari aren't going to jump ship, they're the ones leading this car wreck.
If FIA force them to race in their series there's nothing to stop them turning up with a B-Squad, made up of young drivers a skeleton crew and a car covered in adverts for the FOTA series.
FIA are going to have comprimise or fail. I can't see a FIA F1 doing better than a FOTA series as the fans will follow the teams and the drivers, not Max and Bernie. This will be especially true if FOTA 'do it right' and give the fans what they want.
