Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has warned that F1 teams are still considering a breakaway series if they do not get a bigger cut of the sport's profits in the next Concorde Agreement. fait need to tell Luca di Montezemolo to foff

Bluster..

[russmodel]

Looks like even they are bored with the off season and need to make up $#!^ to keep themselves occupied

[yahyynzer]

99% bluster but as always, there is always the 1%.

It's true that the fundamental basis of F1 is not too complicated. Contracts can be negotiated with circuits and deals done with advertisers and the media.

What is slightly more difficult is the depth and experience that Bernie has invested in the commercial side. I think starting from scratch would be very difficult.

Then we have the question of who would run it; Flav?

The only thing that has possibly moved in favor of a breakaway series is Todt and not Max at the FIA. Max proactive discouraged the breakaway series but would Jean?

As per usual, this is all about negotiating the new agreement and a shot across the bows for Bernie and David Campbell.

I know the tifosi are getting quite annoyed by the apparent Ferrari bashing on the forum lately, but you can't argue that the scuderia don't give people good reason to criticize with stuff like this......

LdM should realize now that under Jean Todt we have a good leader and a stable environment on which to build on. No need for a breakaway with No Max about.

[durootrium]

They have no intention of leaving, they just want more cash. They know that, Todt knows that, everybody knows that!

[xtrupoke]

Can you tell that the Concord agreement is coming up for renewal?

[thakitt]

This is absolutely 'bluffing' ridiculous..

[Vomephems]

I definitely side with LdM. Makes a lot of sense! Bernie is running off with a chunk of the profits that should go to the teams, the 2013 engine rules are lame, and the constant choke hold on the rules makes it really difficult for designers/engineers to be innovative in F1. Breakaway? Not likely, but these issues should be addressed.

The only thing I disagree with Ferrari is a 3-car team. I don't really see the necessity for a team to field that many cars. Two cars are enough since it takes up a lot of resources AND there's no way in hell I'd want to see a dominant car take up the entire podium.

Which makes them no different to the other 12 teams on the grid.

[tarmpriopay]

Now that everyone saw that they didn't care about the fans, as they were claiming last time, who cares anymore about their threats?!

ME TOO!!!

I think Ferrari should also have a three car team and its own series!!!!
But three cars are the minimum to keep the series going.

they can add valentio rossi to the thrid car, and the fan interst will be kept on high to see who finishes second for the WDC behind Alsono.

Will it be rosssi or massa.......this will be fun

Nah, Ferrari strategist will choke inresponse to an early stop from Rossi, and Massa will win it.....

naw, the word will go out...."Alonso is faster than all of you....do you all understand.........What? What do you mean what??? I said move over, or you will be driving fiats delivering pizza on Monday"

[unapelosina]

I think you could hire a couple of venue managers for a hell of a lot less than the mop and the toad

[outfinofulpv]

I'm sitting on the fence on this one, I'm not inherently pro- or anti- a breakaway, and I would support whichever one had the best rules.

If a breakaway series raced on mainly traditional tracks, had more liberal technical regulations and less mickey-mouse sporting regs like post-2002 F1 has, it would get my support, and vice versa.

But the whole thing is probably a Tony George-style power play without any actual morals behind it, in which case both sides get the finger from me.

I am really surprised that NOBODY actually knows how to read. Let me open your weyes a little. The article says:

"Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has warned that F1 teams are still considering a breakaway series if they do not get a bigger cut of the sport's profits in the next Concorde Agreement".

"FERRARI AND F1 TEAMS ARE CONSIDERING ETC"., do you guys see it?
It's rather sad that your blind hatred for Ferrari makes you blind and unable to know how to read elementary English.

And remember: no Ferrari no F1. It's as simple as that
