'It will get sorted'
Formula One news: 'It will get sorted' - GPUpdate.net Formula One
FIA president Max Mosley is not convinced that FOTA teams are capable of forming a rival series to Formula One for next season. After a group agreement to come to a solution to the ongoing budget cap row, all current teams apart from Williams and Force India look - in theory - to be leaving the sport at the end of this year, although Mosley remains calm over the potential crises.
With the teams in question prepared to launch their own series and seemingly leaving F1 with only five teams (Williams, Force India, Campos, Manor and USF1) for next season, the governing body's Mosley shared his opinions. "I don't take it as seriously as some people do because I know that it is all posturing and posing," the FIA president told the BBC. "It will all stop sometime between the beginning of 2010 and March 2010, the first race - all this will stop, it will all settle down and everyone will go racing."
On top of this, he is also convinced that harmony will be found between the two parties. "Absolutely," he confirmed. "I am completely confident because, in the end, people do what it is in their interests to do; it is in the interests of the teams to be in the F1 World Championship and there is actually no fundamental or important issue that is stopping them from taking part. It is all about personalities and power and who can grab what from whom, which is easy when nothing is at stake, but when it gets to the first race and it is 'make your mind up time', they will be there."
"They can be very hard at the moment, because it doesn't actually come to anything until March 2010, so we are nine months away. Everybody can posture and pose but we all know that, when it gets to Melbourne 2010, there will be an F1 World Championship and everyone who can be in it will be in it."
Max did admit, however, that some manufacturers will disappear from the sport regardless. "As always with these things, there is a compromise, because they cannot afford not to run in the F1 World Championship and we would be very reluctant to have a Formula 1 World Championship without them, and I am talking about the eight teams there," he continued.
"I think some of them will disappear, because some of the manufacturers will look at the amount of money being spent, the measures they are having to take within their companies, the people being laid off and accepting government money to keep going and they are going to find it very difficult to keep pumping hundreds of millions into F1.
"So I think we will lose one or two, or maybe three, manufacturer teams, so we will need new teams to make up the space. But the great traditional teams, and I would include Ferrari in that, they need to be there and they will be there, for sure - it will get sorted out."

If Fota splits and creates a rival series our American contingent of F1 fans should be ecstatic although Bahrain will not be on their calender Indianapolis and Montreal will
