Looks like the end result of this ugly, on-going dispute will be what most F1 fans were dreading... a breakaway championship series.

For those not familiar with F1 and its politics, think Indy splitting into IRL and Champ in the 90's... it was a disaster!

Ugly Bernie Ecclestone belongs there too, that man is pure evil!

If they can pull it off, then great. The FIA has been fucking up for a while now, and Ecclestone is a Grade A Douche. This whole time he has been steadfast in thinking there was no way anyone would break away. When Ferrari finally threatened to leave, something should have been done, and I hate Ferrari. Will be interesting to see how many GP2 teams move up.

No split. Mosley dropped the cap, and is stepping down at the end of the year.

I saw that; glad to see that douche Mosley stepping down after his term is up... now if we could just find a way to get Ecclestone out of the picture too :147:

So, the regulations will the the same as they are now in 2009, I wonder where that leaves KERS (can also be spelled FAIL, LOL). It was supposed to be mandatory for next year.

LOL! I was unaware that they were attempting to make that mandatory.

Yep, under the original set of rules for KERS, it was set that this year, it was optional to run it... but next year, everyone had to run it.
