the Concorde Agreement a) has not yet been signed and b) will only bind them until 2012. After that the teams can get petulant again and FOTA might be a go.
My point is that I doubted how binding Mosley's statements to walk away were. What happens once the teams sign? will he go for re-election anyway, out of spite or because he genuinely thinks he's good for the competition?
it's set what I can only consider a really bad precedent and completely undermined the FIA's authority and power. Granted it might have been entirely deserved (Mosley was not good for F1) but I wonder if the teams are even going to pay attention to it now they have leverage.
"Now teams, easy on that aero now, we're putting in new restrictions..."
"WE'RE BREAKING AWAY, WHAA WHAA WHAA...AND TAKING OUR MONEY WITH US!"
"ok...ok....backing down..."
