He seems to forget that those that last used all Ferrari's toys to dominate F1 now run F1 so they know a thing or two about dealing with the Italian team.
Also I thought Ferrari still have a veto.
Could they be of thinking linking up with Bernie to start a new series?
He used to always get Ferrari onside to control F1.

Ferrari seem to be forgetting the FIA's response to their alternative series.
When Bernie last threatened a break away series; 1981?; the FIA said it would ban everyone who competed in the series from competing in any FIA sanctioned event, be they a competitor, entrant, official or venue.
No small threat, and very difficult to live with as a manufacturer competing in more than one series!
Besides, who but is going to want to participate in Ferrari's idea of a category, everybody in racing knows how self interested Ferrari are?
