Bernie and Max are so trying to find ways to divide FOTA, together and with the support of some of the classic venues together they would have some real purchase against Bernie.
FOTA is the Formula One Teams Association - basically all teams have a representative in FOTA, and FOTA presents a unified front to the FIA and Bernie with regards to the sport on behalf of the teams

thanks
so how can an association be divided then.....that would then be two associations?
Max and Bernie don't like the teams putting on a united front, as it gives the teams the upper hand in negotiations.
What Max and Bernie would like is to drive a wedge between the teams in FOTA somehow, so that the teams don't have a united front, which means the FIA and Formula One Management (Bernie's company that owns the TV rights to F1) would have the upper hand in negotiations
All very political

isnt that the point of an association though.....to be as a united front, like a workers union?
so to get their own way, he effectively wants to split that association to weaken their public say
I can fully understand why a lot of teams are against it, but who will have the final word in agreeing the two tier system? FIA? ......which is heavily biased towards Bernie and Mosely
I think the main problem is Max/Bernie are more interested now in the commercial aspect of F1 rather than the sporting aspect and will push through their own agenda if it means lining their pockets
yea thats spot on. also i think max and especially bernie are worried about FOTA making a breakaway series without them, and are running scared that they will end up with absolutely naff all. personally i would love to see that for the comedy value but hey!!!!

For all Bernie/Max saying that F1 would survive without Ferrari, I think if Ferrari and McLaren proposed a breakaway series then all the other teams would follow.
What the FIA/FOM need to do is actually agree and sign a new Concorde agreement with the teams which should stop all this gossip/rumour about what's happening and breakaway series etc. and let the teams concentrate on the racing, not the politics!
