F1 breakaway schedule leaked
Eurosport - Tue, 23 Jun 11:57:00 2009
A blueprint calendar for the Formula One Teams' Association's new breakaway series in 2010 has been leaked - with no fewer than 10 current or recent grand prix circuits listed amongst the 17 venues.
FOTA are at loggerheads with FIA president Max Mosley over regulations for the 2010 season, and the appearance of a schedule for the new series undermines Mosley's claim that the teams are merely "posturing" and that a resolution to the dispute is "very, very close."
Current F1 venues Monaco, Silverstone, Monza, Abu Dhabi and Singapore are all on the list of venues, while the recently discarded Imola, Montreal, Indianapolis, Magny-Cours and Suzuka are part of the draft plan.
There is also a mooted return to Jerez, the southern Spanish track that fell out of favour with F1 when the town's mayor appeared on the podium and presented a trophy that should have been given out by a dignitary from Daimler-Benz.
There is also a potential return to Adelaide, the popular home of Australian Grand Prix until 1996, when rival Melbourne took over.
"Not surprisingly Adelaide has been included because it was very, very popular when it had Formula 1," said racing consultant Mike Drewer.
"But it's a bit like trying to work out who might be the members of a cabinet if there was a change in government."
There is no race in Brazil, but Argentina and Mexico are both on the list.
In Europe, meanwhile, there is the addition of the state-of-the-art Portimao track in Portugal, which opened in 2008 and has hosted testing as well as World Superbike races.
Surfers' Paradise - which has hosted Champ Cars, IndyCars and V8s - has been nominated as a reserve venue should any of the others not be up to the grade.
F1 commercial rights-holder Ecclestone has poured cold water on the FOTA plans, claiming dissenting teams do not possess sufficient financial backing to organise their own championship.
Provisional FOTA 2010 schedule:
March 3 - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Last hosted F1 in 1998
March21 - Mexico City, Mexico - Last hosted F1 in 1992
April 11 - Jerez, Spain - Last hosted F1 in 1997

No going back as Formula One rebels head for summit in Italy
The leader of the Formula One rebels will go to the headquarters of the sport's ruling body in Paris to tell them that there is no going back on plans for a pirate series.
A source close to Luca Di Montezemolo, the Ferrari president and chairman of the breakaway teams (FOTA), confirmed ahead of this morning's crucial FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting: 'There is no need for us to change our position. We are sticking firm.'
Their defiance reflects a growing conviction among FOTA members - Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW, Toyota, Brawn, Red Bull and Toro Rosso - that they have finally broken free of the old order, having become fed up with FIA president Max Mosley's dictatorial rule and billionaire commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone swallowing up much of the profits.
A FOTA source said: 'The reason it might appear we are adopting a hardline approach is not personal but practical. We need to get on with setting up our own series. If we hang about waiting for negotiation, we will run out of road.'
But, for Mosley, who will chair today's meeting, the fight goes on.
In a combative letter to World Motor Sport Council members, he said: 'Over recent weeks it has become increasingly clear that one of the objectives of the dissident teams is that I should resign.
'However, in light of the attack on the mandate you have entrusted to me, I must now reflect on whether my original decision not to stand for re-election was indeed the right one.'
Should he seek re-election in October, it would turn on its head the promise he made last year, following revelations over his involvement in sado-masochistic orgies.
But FOTA, who will meet in the Italian city of Bologna to consider their response to today's developments, are increasingly determined to go it alone - whatever becomes of Mosley. |

BMW Sauber sah tinggalkan F1
TINGGAL KENANGAN... Theissen (belakang kanan) bergambar bersama dua pemandu BMW Sauber, Robert Kubica dan Nick Heidfeld.
BERLIN - Pengeluar kereta terkemuka Jerman, BMW mengumumkan akan menarik diri daripada perlumbaan kereta Formula Satu (F1) pada penghujung musim ini.
BMW yang mengambil alih pasukan Sauber pada penghujung tahun 2005 menjelaskan, keputusan untuk menarik diri dibuat kerana ingin menggunakan sumber terhad mereka terhadap pembangunan di sektor lain.
"Kumpulan BMW tidak akan meneruskan kempen dalam F1 selepas penghujung musim 2009," kata Pengerusi dan Ketua Eksekutif BMW, Norbert Reithofer.
"Sumber kami amat diperlukan untuk digunakan dalam projek pembangunan teknologi pemanduan yang baru serta projek-projek lain,
"BMW bagaimanapun akan terus aktif melibatkan diri dalam perlumbaan motosport yang lain."
Sementara itu, Pengarah Motosport BMW, Mario Theissen menjelaskan mereka menerima keputusan tersebut dan akan memberi tumpuan penuh terhadap baki saingan musim terakhir ini.
"Sudah tentu kami pekerja-pekerja BMW di Hinwil dan Munich ingin meneruskan kempen dalam perlumbaan F1 dan membuktikan bahawa kami mampu untuk meraih kejayaan selepas tiga musim yang membanggakan," kata Theissen.
"Namun saya boleh faham mengapa keputusan ini dibuat dari perspektif korporat. Bagaimanapun kami akan fokus terhadap baki saingan musim ini dan menunjukkan semangat juang bagi menghasilkan keputusan yang terbaik."
BMW Sauber yang menduduki tempat ketiga keseluruhan bagi kategori pengeluar musim lepas, berdepan dengan musim yang sukar tahun ini apabila Nick Heidfeld dan Robert Kubica masing-masing sekadar menduduki tempat ke-13 dan 15.
"Kami hanya mengambil masa tiga tahun untuk meletakkan pasukan dalam kelompok tiga terbaik tahun lepas," tambah Theissen.
