Ferrari 'to quit' over budget row
Ferrari have announced they will quit Formula 1 at the end of the season if the sport continues with plans to enforce a £40m budget cap from 2010.
"No F1 in 2010 if the rules do not change," read a statement. "Ferrari does not intend to register cars for the 2010 F1 world championship."
More to follow.

OK I’ll say more.
£40m is hardly the change Ferrari use in hospitality never mind getting a car on the track. Also there are so many things not included in the proposed £40m like the £100m+ that Ferrari spend on engines or the £60m+ on drivers!
The whole thing is becoming a blummin’ farce.
One financial incentive might be to have say a £100m ceiling. For every £10m over that you loose a world championship point and every £5m under you get one.
Who audits it? The whole thing would be unworkable.Space to let

IMO the budget cap goes against everything f1 is about anyway, it would be nice to see new teams but there must be better ways
so far mclaren have kept quiet (probably trying to stay out of trouble)
f1 grid next season could only consist of williams, force india, brawn, usf1,Last edited by Gatecrasher; 13-05-2009 at 02:30 PM.

If they're unhappy why don't they walk this season?
