F1 breakaway ‘worst case scenario’

THE Formula One Teams’ Association (FOTA) do not want a war with FIA president Max Mosley, with the threat of a breakaway series to be considered only as a “worst-case scenario”.

However, FOTA’s unified front is weakening, with Force India the latest to submit an unconditional entry to compete in next year’s championship.

The situation is playing into the hands of Mosley, who will next Friday announce the 13 teams due to line up on the grid for 2010.
