Neither is focused primarily on what is best for the sport and its fans. A pox on both their houses!

On the grand scheme of things both side has their point of cutting cost and whatnot, but FOTA is on the more reasonable and practical side of thing, where as most of the FIA proposals just sounds illogical...

Im completely neutral, both are actually right, but both are wrong too.

I really wouldnt care what happens, the fans wont loose anything probably.

We still odnt know what the FOTA actually added to their sing in for the season, i bet they want alot more freedom, wich they aint gonna get.

I can see and to some degree accept both sides of this battle. But the reality is that I'm a spectator and enthusiast. If a breakaway occurs (which I doubt will happen)I believe Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Red Bull and Renault - along with their drivers - are most capable of creating a series which embodies what I love about motorsport. If they start a new series, I'll be up early or staying up late to watch them... not the Max & Bernie show.

FOTA

I'd like to mention though that I am against Mad Max and The Bernie. They are trying to service the CVC debt and will do so on the backs of the teams. They add nothing, I repeat, absolutely nothing to the racing itself. One is a promoter, the other the head of a sanctioning body. Both are replaceable with 22 year old college kids, which in turn would probably do a better job managing the F1 series.

Therefore I will side with the ones that do the racing, even though they are a bit to blame for the way they are handling things.
