Mosley makes stand on new rules

Ten new teams have applied to the FIA to take part next season

Motorsport boss Max Mosley has told existing Formula 1 teams they are free to leave the championship if they refuse to comply with new regulations.

"If you want to formulate your own rules, then you can organise your own championship," the FIA president told Swiss magazine Motorsport Aktuell.

Nine teams are seeking a compromise over a budget cap proposed for 2010.

It had seemed that an agreement was close after meetings between the two camps around the Monaco Grand Prix.

Mosley, together with commercial rights owner Bernie Ecclestone, had seemed to close on a compromise after discussions with team principals in Monaco.

Since then, the nine teams have made conditional entries to next season, requesting a more gradual and voluntary approach to cutting teams costs and a renewal of the Concorde Agreement that lays out their rights.

Mosley's latest statement suggests a resolution may again be some way away.

"We now have a dispute and we will see who prevails," he said.

"But we have the F1 championship. We draw up the rules for that, we have been doing that for 60 years and we will continue doing so."

The F1 Teams' Association (Fota) - representing Ferrari, McLaren, Toyota, Renault, BMW Sauber, Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Brawn GP and Force India - wants to reduce its costs over the next three years.

Mosley conceded some ground over the weekend of the Monaco Grand Prix, admitting that a 45m euro (£39.6m) cap may be phased in for 2011 with an intermediate stage next season.

But he has appeared to reject the possibility of resurrecting the Concorde agreement - the regulatory and contractual agreement between the FIA teams that lapsed in 2007 - before a deadline demanded by Fota.

"A Concorde Agreement received so late can't be signed by 12 June. There are 500 pages," he said.

Although Williams broke Fota ranks in May to sign up for next season, under new rules, a failure to reach an agreement with the rest of the body would deprive F1 of some of its most marketable names.

"Mosley is in no mood to fully compromise on this matter and the wish to abandon cost-cutting for next year, something the Fota teams insist must happen for them to take part," said BBC F1 commentator David Croft.

"So the duel continues, the pistols are loaded and the two are starting to march the 12 paces.

"Potentially we have a full grid for next year, but for the fans is it still F1 without Ferrari, McLaren and co?"

Should some this season's entrants fail to make it to the start line for next season, there could be a return to the sport for Brabham.

German businessman Franz Hilmer has attached the famous British name to the failed Super Aguri team, which withdrew from last year's championship as its funding dried up, and is willing to compete under the financial restrictions proposed by Mosley.

"The Brabham Grand Prix team has the pleasure to announce its application as a 'cost cap F1 team' for the FIA 2010 F1 World Championship," a statement said.

"We appreciate the FIA rules for cost-capped F1 teams and are convinced that the budget limitation is a contemporary obligation."

Nine other new teams have also lodged entries with the FIA, including Lola, giving Mosley some ready-made, if less famous, replacements.
