autosport.com - F1 News: Briatore: Time for deal has passed

 

thanks for posting

man...at times they sound like schoolgirls having issues over "who started first",bitching about the other girl or being jealous and all that stuff...

Hope things go well and we,the fans,actually will have a better sport than we had before.

 

I bet he could kick Max's rear end pretty easily

 

Question is, would Max enjoy it?

 

that is probably what Briatore is talking about in the article

 

I think Briatore is right. Time's up. F1 will be dead in a couple of years without the support of the leading manufacturers because no one will want to pay the ludicrous ticket prices for a race if they can't see any of their favorite teams. It seems as if everyone knows this except for Max.

The only way for things to be resolved at this point, will be for Max to resign but I just don't see that happening. He's too stubborn and too power-hungry. Bernie is similar, but in this case, not quite as extreme. Bernie has a business to run, and as things stand, Max is standing in his way. It'll be interesting to see how this all turns out as Max is quickly making a lot of enemies of people who had previously supported him.

 

One more thing I remembered... One of the biggest problems with Mosley is that he has the power to go to tracks and blacklist them if they agree to hosting FOTA races in the future (should FOTA actually start a breakaway series). Max could basically tell track owners that they will never have an FIA sanctioned event on their track if they allow a FOTA race to take place there. This could be a huge issue for a lot of these tracks who would like to be involved in F1.

 

Bernie and Flavio have been best friends for years too.
