No Teams Signed Up For 2009 Season

Formula one team bosses met in the Hockenheim paddock on late Saturday afternoon.

In the Williams motor home, together with F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, they discussed the ratification of a new Concorde Agreement, and how to respond to Max Mosley’s stance about future regulations.

The bosses also resolved to meet again, on 29 July at Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters, to discuss the matters in more detail, including Mosley’s request for new rules for 2011.

That meeting will take place two days before the FIA’s accelerated deadline for teams to lodge an official entry for the 2009 season.

It is understood no team has submitted its entry yet.

Neal’s View: Formula One’s power struggle is going to continue. I reckon the teams will get the rules they want. They have to unanimously agree to a new Concorde Agreement or Ferrari International Assistance can force one upon them. However, what chances of a break-away series? Slim, but don’t rule it out.
