I was under the assumption that FOTA would organize the
creation of the new series - I thought that FOTA would not govern it, but it would create a new governing body to act as the referee? Surely they're intelligent enough to realise that the governing body would collapse if it had biased team representetives running it?

The thing is, this political battle is representing the attempt to
end political battles, but also, most importantly, many other factors that we can't stand about F1, such as the direction of future rules, the chance to get away from the Tilke-dromes, and many more. So, naturally, we're all for it :P

If the governing body is as I predicted, this should not happen. Or so we hope. But, to me, the reason that I'm so keen about the FOTA breakaway is that the aims are much clearer, and that it should at least remain a true racing series through the politics rather than another drama performance of the form of Britain's Got Talent (Max Mosely presents the Formula 1 World Champions**t. Couldn't resist).

I'll supply that myself, thanks. I have a specific taste, dutch bricks are usually too well-done :P
