Thinking about it, could this be a "warning" to the FIA? Basically all the fota teams saying "Wheels are in motion to set up our series, give us what we want or we will go". Remember, this is the small hours of Friday morning

No, this is real. Actually, they've been "gone" for weeks, maybe months. All the rest was window-dressing to make sure the legalisms were covered.

Now, attention, major forces are set in motion to demote Max Mosley from power.
A new Formula One will begin. |

So, I guess "Formula GP3" is a go after all.

it seems very short on details, but the intent certainly sends a very loud message.
So it should too. The management of this sport has long been one of the most egocentric dictatorships in world sport. for the record, i agree with budget caps, but it seems as though this whole thing is about something far greater than 2010 rule regulations... |

Oh ...
Anyone who thinks this is good, no matter how much you hate Max and Bernie, is an absolute fool. The fall out of this will rock this sport to it's very foundations. Single seater racing will never be the same again... |

Maybe the Indy 500 can be part of this new series, like it used to be when Clark and Hill won it. You listening Tony George?
