Too bad they couldn't get Max and Bernie to go away now....
I guess this is good news. When IRL and CART split there were no winners. Sadly, it was the IRL that "won".

I saw that he will not run for re-election. I was hoping he and Bernie would be told, thanks for the job done, and off you go.
Oh well. I am just glad to see that the teams can focus on racing again. It will be great to see the other teams catch up and have a series that comes down to the last race to decide the WDC!

Bernie is not the biggest problem
CVC owns 50+% of the income Bernie does own a bit of CVC but the pay out needs to change to the teams tracks need a break too but that willnot happen now |

Max is effectively neutered.
"But it is also believed that Michel Boeri, currently President of the FIA senate and head of the Monaco automobile club, will immediately begin to handle all relations between the sport's governing body and the teams." F1 Live And rumor on Fchat (supposedly from a Ferrari press release) is that the rules now are to be determined by a voting body called the F1 Commission consisting of: Tracks get 5 votesIan
