And has Mosley agreed to this?

Plans to revise the qualifying format, adjustments to the points structure, mandatory tyre changes and more availability of team data for fans are believed to be some of the proposals due to unveiled by the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) in Geneva on Thursday.

It doesn't say that Max has agreed to it but my guess is that Max will loosen up on FOTA for a while then as soon as he is re-elected he will return to using the iron fist

I think it would be a reasonable strategy if the teams fought for more control of the technical regulations first. Then they could go after more financial and political control.

I see no problems with any of their proposals, and I strongly support several of them.

WMSC: Approve these. That is all.

Overall, I think the proposals are good (I'd take issue with one or two things), so I don't see Mosley or Ecclestone opposing too much on the technical and sporting side. The fun will really start when it comes to the financial matters. :hehe:

Bernie's divide and rule seems to be failing! It's good to see how well the teams are working together
