Max Mosley has told the world that instead of reaching a compromise with the nine FOTA teams, he thinks they should leave F1:
I say to them: If you want to draw up your own rules, then you can organise your own championship. But we have the Formula 1 championship. We draw up the rules for that. We have been doing that for 60 years and we will continue doing so.
It is difficult to believe that the president of the FIA could seriously be advocating a situation where the governing body’s most successful and popular championship is split into two.
Mario Theissen claims it was Mosley’s suggestion that FOTA place a ‘conditional’ entry to the 2010 championship, which they did last week.

I’ve been puzzled about what’s been happening in the FIA-FOTA row since last Friday. All the chatter from FOTA has gone. Now it’s only Max Mosley talking. He’s told the teams to leave and start their own series. But according to a source he’s the one that urged FOTA to file “conditional” entries for the 2010 Formula One campaign.

Meet Luke Marks, 53 inches and 70 pounds of compact firepower.
Shaggy-haired and freckled-faced, the recently graduated fourth grader from Melbourne Beach always seems to be a step ahead of everyone else. He even came into this world a few weeks earlier than doctors had planned, 10 years ago.
“A lot of kids his age don’t have his physical abilities,” said former pro surfer John Holeman, who pioneered the aerial-360 maneuver, landing on the cover of Surfing magazine in 1990. “He has a lot of natural talent in …Â Details
