Actually this may save F1 just not as a series that has anything to do with Max or Bernie

Oh yes, Bernie and Maximilian are the only two people who can't see that it is way past time for their departure. It isn't the name of the organization that matters, it is the best makers and teams competing at the highest level of open wheel road racing that makes this series elite and popular. If the elite teams leave, the Bernie Max show might as well field poodles driving cozy coupes. No one is going to watch start-up teams in a spec series when Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and FOTA company are doing their thing.

I agree. The collapse of Bernie and Max's F1 gives way to a new GP Series free of the politics and rows. The breakaway of the FOTA Teams is the best solution. If you can't reason with Max, Leave him! Start your own league!

I'd suggest someone slap some sense into him, but given his predilections I imagine he'd interpret it as positive reinforcement.

its money. if it was not there would never animosity. max is the key bernie tv rights. i believe f1 teams should be financially comfortable so that participation cost should not be too high but too much tv money is going to bernie. it should be go to those who are actually creating the audience. the F1 teams should gather a round table and select a tv rights and kick bernie out.

FOTA breakaway won't be that easy, because all teams signed the Concorde agreement. Breakaway will be very, very expensive...Nazi knows that, teams know that, but split is the only logical way. Max F3 Cup idea just can't work

Max didn't destroy F1. Destroying it would constitute making it nearly unworkable. What dear old Max is doing, in fact, is obliterating it. Ridiculous rule changes (punctuated by THREADED SLICKS!!! at one point), governing making dictatorships look like playground-politics and plunging the sport in scandal, he alone is enough to rip F1 apart. But no, having one old fart messing it up is not enough. Instead, we have two (Bernie).

I suggest that the teams that are forced to compete in the next season by Mosley should just not follow the regulations and make awful cars that aren't allowed to compete. That would be a great kick in Mosley's behind:D
