    No agreement between teams and FIA

    By Jonathan Noble Friday, May 15th 2009, 15:40 GMT

    The FIA's crunch meeting with teams ended without agreement on Friday as the governing body refused to compromise over plans for a two-tier category.

    Max Mosley said there had been 'friendly' discussions with teams but that the FIA was not willing to back down over its plans for a £40 million cap.

    Teams have now gone into another meeting to discuss their response to the FIA's stance.

    Furthermore, it emerged during the meeting that Ferrari has lodged legal action in the French courts to block the 2010 rules - claiming their introduction was a breach of a technical veto they had.

    I saw that article, but it seems to be incorrect.

    They've completely abandoned the idea of a two-tier championship:

    The rest is just posturing on what the amount of the cap is to be - it's only a matter of time before they agree on a number.

    Thanks for the link. Mosley is quite clear and honest about the meeting. Ferrari shoudn't rule F1 that his job i saw him think. Anyway the two tieer idea is gone, so no teams pulling out.

    Mosley is Nuts in some of his ideas.

    It should NOT be his job
    It sohuld be the teams job to suggest rules and regs. Then the FIA pass them or not.

    Is the 2 tier system 100% gone??

    I'm not saying it is his job to rule F1, i'm saying i saw him think it his job. If the two tier is 100% gone is never sure. But the way i saw the clips on the bbc link i think it is and the row is now about how high, or low, the budget cap is going to be. Could be due to the fact that english is not my first language.

    I think the FIA should act like a referee and see that the teams follow the rules and apply fines if these rules are broken. For making the rules, the FIA should listen a bit better to teams, and surveys among F1 followers.
