No one is indispensable in F1 - Mosley

By on

FIA President Max Mosley has repeated his opinion that Ferrari could leave and the series would go on like normal, seeing how other greats of the sport have come and gone before them he says. He also touches up on the fact the Ferrari sent team principal Stefano Domenicali to the FIA/FOTA meeting without informing him of the legal action they had taken against the FIA.

Mosley said late last week, "The idea that they are indispensable is nonsense. It's a little bit like poor Senna. He was the most important driver in 1994 but when he very sadly got killed, Formula One went on.

Adding, "Lotus were very important once, so were Brabham."

While commening on Ferrari's decision to send Domenicali without knowing of the legal decisions, "I thought that was quite original, to send a Team Principal in without informing him of his team's intentions. I think he was slightly embarrassed."

"I think the chances of a breakaway are smaller this time," he added refering to the threats of some teams to defect from Formula One, "After all, we are giving them a chance to race and spend less money."
