Formula One Teams’ Association (FOTA) a anuntat joi seara ca se pregateste pentru organizarea unei competitii separate. Cei 8 membri ai asociatiei, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Brawn, Red Bull Racing si Scuderia Toro Rosso, s-au intilnit timp de 4 ore la uzina echipei Renault de la Enstone, din Anglia, iar la final au anuntat ca nu sint sanse sa ajunga la o intelegere cu Federatia Internationala de Automobilism vizavi de modificarile de regulament propuse de aceasta pentru 2010. Drept urmare, singura solutie pe care o vad echipele este sa infiinteze o competitie proprie.
“Echipele nu pot sa continue sa compromita valorile fundamentale ale acestui sport si s-au decis sa decline inscrierea pentru sezonul 2010 de Formula 1″, se spune intr-un comunicat de presa emis de FOTA. “Vom pregati o noua competitie, cu un singur set de regulamente, care va fi transparenta, va asculta sugestiile fanilor, va oferi bilete mai ieftine si va include toti pilotii de top, sponsorii si partenerii de anul acesta din Formula 1″, se mai precizeaza in comunicat.
Vineri, 19 iunie, era termenul limita pentru ca echipele care au trimis cererile provizorii de inscriere in sezonul 2010 sa renunte la solicitarile de modificare a regulamentelor. Max Mosley a trimis joi dimineata o scrisoare catre toate gruparile din Marele Circ, in care spunea ca este pregatit sa mai faca anumite concesii, dar ca – in acelasi timp – nu va renunta la introducerea limitarii bugetelor incepind de anul viitor.
Mai jos aveti in intregime comunicatul de presa emis de FOTA.
“Since the formation of FOTA last September the teams have worked together and sought to engage the FIA and commercial rights holder, to develop and improve the sport.
Unprecedented worldwide financial turmoil has inevitably placed great challenges before the F1 community. FOTA is proud that it has achieved the most substantial measures to reduce costs in the history of our sport.
In particular the manufacturer teams have provided assistance to the independent teams, a number of which would probably not be in the sport today without the FOTA initiatives. The FOTA teams have further agreed upon a substantial voluntary cost reduction that provides a sustainable model for the future.
Following these efforts all the teams have confirmed to the FIA and the commercial rights holder that they are willing to commit until the end of 2012.
The FIA and the commercial rights holder have campaigned to divide FOTA.
The wishes of the majority of the teams are ignored. Furthermore, tens of millions of dollars have been withheld from many teams by the commercial rights holder, going back as far as 2006. Despite this and the uncompromising environment, FOTA has genuinely sought compromise.
It has become clear however, that the teams cannot continue to compromise on the fundamental values of the sport and have declined to alter their original conditional entries to the 2010 World Championship.
These teams therefore have no alternative other than to commence the preparation for a new Championship which reflects the values of its participants and partners. This series will have transparent governance, one set of regulations, encourage more entrants and listen to the wishes of the fans, including offering lower prices for spectators worldwide, partners and other important stakeholders.
The major drivers, stars, brands, sponsors, promoters and companies historically associated with the highest level of motorsport will all feature in this new series.”
