F1 Crisis – Leading Teams Break Away

I wonder how this will pan out!

A group of leading F1 teams are quitting the championship and will set up a rival series next year.

The Turkish Grand Prix

Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Brawn GP, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso have all declined to enter F1 for 2010.

The 8 teams failed to reach a compromise with Max Mosley over plans for a £40m budget cap.

Mosley issued a deadline of today for teams to enter next year’s championship.

Formula One Teams Assoc (FOTA) said it had tried to work with the FIA and Ecclestone to "develop and improve the sport" since forming last September.

Many of the team bosses were originally in favour of the voluntary budget limit, although Ferrari were not.

But Mosley angered the teams when he announced the introduction of a cap at the end of April without consulting them.

The teams accused the Mosley and Ecclestone of trying to divide them and ignoring their views on the future of the sport.

As things stand, next year’s F1 championship now consists of Williams and Force India, along with the three new teams, USF1, Campos and Manor.

Hamilton vows to save British GP

Lewis Hamilton

Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has pledged to do whatever he can to save the British Grand Prix on the eve of the final race at Silverstone.

Construction at its new Donington Park home is behind schedule, with fears the race could be scrapped in 2010.

"I’m pushing as hard as I can to ensure we keep the British GP – wherever it is," said the English world champion.

Championship leader Jenson Button added: "Not to have a race here would be a shocker and very disappointing."

Formula 1 commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone has granted Donington Park a 17-year deal to stage the British GP after Silverstone, which is owned by the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC), stalled over signing a new contract.

But Donington’s redevelopment, which is led by leaseholder Simon Gilett, has been dogged by legal disputes over unpaid rent and delayed planning permission.

Ecclestone has warned that if the Leicestershire circuit is not ready in time then there will be no going back to Silverstone.

Ffos Las Picks

6:20

This appears to be between the aptly named Ffos Las Diamond of owner Dai Walters and Evan Williams’ Plunkett, but I would risk better value from Flexi Time who has been going well in bumpers.

6:50

A lottery, however Turf War is noticeably higher on official ratings and is probably the safest bet.

7:20

A few interesting types here including Megaton and Fruitfull Citizen but preference is for Sea Wall for Jonjo O’Neill and AP.

7:50

Another interesting contest but Silmi can follow up his win at Worcester earlier this week.

8:20

Can’t get excited about the prospects of Wild Tonto, and surprising that Tim Vaughan has not put out more horses for this meeting. Will The Till represents Evan Williams who is in great form. I fancy Billie Magern if he is in the right mood.

Take a chance on Mey Clouds for Evan Williams

9:20

Seems to be between Minder and Key Regard, with slight preference for the former.
