Full Throttle

Just when some semblence of peace looked to be possible (if not probable) between Formula One’s governing body and Grand Prix Manufacturers Association (GPMA) Mad Max Mosley has to open his pie hole:

Max Mosley, the head of Formula One’s governing body, has suggested that carmaker teams should be denied any share of the sport’s revenues from 2008.

“I believe it would be entirely reasonable to offer the manufacturers that join the Formula One world championship no income,” the International Automobile Federation (FIA) quoted him as saying on Friday.

A spokesman said Mosley had put his idea to Bernie Ecclestone, who represents the commercial rights holders.

“I really think we can be more optimistic than we could have been six months or a year ago,” Renault F1 president Patrick Faure said on Tuesday.

“We have moved forward in many directions. It seems that now everybody is conscious that a good compromise from all would be a good solution for the future of Formula One.”

Yea well…that was Tuesday, now four days later the pie hole that never shuts up is attempting to drive another wedge between the warring parties.
