Bernie Ecclestone, holder of the commercial rights in Formula 1, has promised to take action to prevent the sport from disintegrating amid the current conflict between the teams and the FIA.
With the members of the Formula One Teams Association or FOTA currently refusing any compromises, it seems that the situation will evolve little or not at all for a certain period of time.
On the contrary, the FOTA is moving forward and starting its working meetings to organize its championship next year.
Ecclestone, however, specified that he is not willing to let Formula 1 fizzle out like a mere flash in the pan.
“I have given 35 years of my life and even more to Formula 1,” declared Ecclestone to the newspaper The Times.
« My marriage ended in divorce because of Formula 1, so I’m sure that even hell couldn’t dismantle this sport. In the end, the situation is far from catastrophic. »
« If you analyze the problems, there are some that can be easily solved. »
Furthermore, it seems that FOTA is organizing its first meeting on Thursday to work on its new championship. This meeting will take place exactly one day after the World Motor Sport Council meets.
