If I read the story correctly there will still be spending caps, which none of
the top teams want, and there will be technology sharing.
Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me.
F1 has now taken a big step down the slippery slope of spec racing. Joy, more
IRL cars. And about as exciting as a FF race.
The heart and soul of Formula One is technical innovation. It's not giving
your secrets to the other guy to "even the playing field".
The constructors should have stuck to their guns.

Subject: [Fot] FIA blinks first
Looks like the FIA "blinked" first and the FOTA has prevailed. B As an added
plus "Mad Max" Mosley will be gone in the Fall. B Bernie E. should take the
hint and leave also. B If I heard correctly on the broadcast, Silverstone had
100,000 fans in attendance all 3 days. B Turkey had about 30,000 for the race
and very few for practice and qualifying. B But Silverstone is off the
schedule for next year? B And no North American race? B Guess the North
American market is not big enough for Bernie, plus the North Americans don't
take kindly to extortion.
B
Just my thoughts,
