Through the FOTA, which brings together the F1 teams, Flavio Briatore revealed that a request for an extension of the application deadline has been made.
« We asked for it but we were not lucky, » said the Renault boss, leader in the battle against the FIA for the removal of the budget cap.
The team principal of Ferrari, Stefano Domenicali, added before leaving Monaco that he expected a very long week, as May 29 falls on a Friday.
« Every year, the registration deadline is in November, and this year, it is in May. I don’t understand why, » objected Briatore Monday in the Spanish press.
He stated that the FIA rejected a request for a two or four-week extension. With each hour, the battle between the FIA and the FOTA develops a little more.
The latest rumor is that FIA President Max Mosley reportedly met with Martin Whitmarsh and Norbert Haug on Sunday morning. This would be a sign that McLaren is ready to join Williams in submitting their application.
Niki Lauda, the former three-time world champion, is impressed by the political turn that Formula 1 is taking.
« For decades, Formula 1 has seen more and more egocentric people emerge, and the number is increasing every day, it proliferates like cancer, » he said in an interview for the Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung.
