Luca stickin' it to the FIA... - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Montezemolo is the head of the FOTA and is speaking in the name of all the F1 teams when he criticizes Bernie.

He may be the head of FOTA but is also the head of Ferrari which is a member of FOTA so he is speaking for both parties in effect.

Unless De Montezemolo speaks officially on behalf of FOTA, he isn't speaking on their behalf.

Does it matter? He's giving his opinion - I assume in response to questions from a journalist - on a couple of issues relating to F1; issues that affect the teams and the sport as a whole. He doesn't specifically say he's speaking for Ferrari, for FOTA, or both, or either for that matter!!

Does it matter?

What a question!

Sure it does matter!

I like street courses! Why two or three out of 18 is too much? Cause Ferrari struggles in them?
Thumbs down to LdM.

But there are street courses and street courses too...

Monaco, Toronto, Long Beach or Macao are great ones, ok the glamour plays a huge part in some of them.

Singapore or Surfers Paradise are ok, certainly they offer less than what they publish

Valencia and all the former US F1 street courses are just plain boring

The charm is in the unusual circumstances.

The reason I placed that title is because Luca is breaking ranks with the FIA.

Is he though?

I'm under the understanding the FIA are for cost cuts, and believe that the teams should get a higher percentage of the revenue.

Bearing this in mind, I'd say the FOTA are in battle with Bernie, and not the FIA.

Yep, something like that.
