Sounds like the beginning of the open war between the FOCA and the FIA. That's why this news is interesting, a lot of things may change in the F1 championship in the next fews years, Bernie's era will come to an end.

Ferrari definitely has the upper hand here. There absolutely cannot be a Formula One without the red cars. As long as Formula One aspires to be the "pinnacle of engineering excellence" their calls for cost caps and two tiered rules will sound silly. I say it's time to pull out and start a brand new series without any involvement of the FIA.

It is really nothing to cry about. All automakers should think wisely about how they allocate their spending. Priorities must be established and looked after in this global economic downturn.

I don't think they have pulled out, till now they are just threatening that change the rules or we are going.
btw Ferrari is definitely the most important team in F1 and if they pull out, F1 won't be the same. I hope everything become normal soon and we fans enjoy the great season we are having with new teams on top, and not worry and talk about all this politics.

Let us first thank Mr George W Bush. Thank you for liberating the Iraqi people and fucking the world economy in the process. Thank you Mr Max R Mosley. Thank you for liberating low-budget motorsports teams and fucking every single form of motorsport in the process. Thanks Mr Bernard C Ecclestone. Thank you for liberating competitiveness in Formula 1 and fucking Formula 1 in the process. Quite a threesome. I have always said that the way forward was to get rid of these clowns. One down, two to go. Every single team should boycott F1 for 2010. Let's see how much mouth Ecclestone has then. Old fart.

Go Tango! I don't want to miss my F1, but I'd rather see everyone pull out for a year, fix their companies, take the extra money and keep people's jobs in tact and at the same time make a strong statement to F1 that hopefully garners some strong results!

How is it Bush's fault that Ferrari is pulling out of F1? Let it go, he can't hurt you anymore. We're in a business cycle right now this is a good thing. Ferrari pulling out of F1 is going to hurt Ecclestone and Mosley in the pocket much worse than the economy. Just imagine no more red flags being waved.
