They're Feudin' Again

Apparently the FIA had their fingers crossed when they agreed to the those rule changes last month. Seems that the only way the published rules can be amended is if all comitted teams agree to them. Apparently, the comitted teams are the five not in FOTA.
I don't trust FOTA led by Luca di Montezemolo any more than Bernie and Max. The old saying, "better the devil you know."
"However FOTA said they had been told during the course of Wednesday's meeting by FIA technical head Charlie Whiting that "contrary to previous agreements" they had no voting rights because they had not yet fully entered for 2010.
The situation effectively left the five non-FOTA teams, four of whom have yet to score a point in Formula One, making decisions while the likes of Ferrari, champions with an unbroken 60 years in the sport, would have been simply observers."
