Starting tomorrow everyone interested in F1 will be waiting to see how things are going to unfold after the collective move and conditions by FOTA.
Only 12 days and one GP in the meantime to resolve the conflict.
What do you think? Will FIA (Max) accept the FOTA conditions and proposals or FOTA application will be rejected en-bloc?

Concessions. I like to see changes in F1 to mix things up but a wholesale carve-up is unthinkable! I hope....

The clock is ticking already. No reactions from both sides until now.

I think this one is hard to call right now. I can't see FOTA being taken for a ride by Max and Bernie again, but I can't see Max backing down either. I don't think this will be over for quite a while yet, and the real losers at the moment are unfortunately those new teams who have signed up based on a ruleset which may well be changed.

I bet David Richards isn't happy that he may well be shut out a second time.

FOTA will prevail, though they may need to help Mosley save a little face by making some token concessions. They'll win out in the end because Ecclestone will back them rather than facing the alternative: raising money for anonymous teams fielding anonymous drivers, while persuing a damaging court case against Ferrari.

Concessions is the only course of action left now surely.

FOTA v. FIA is a non-starter. They both need to succeed in their individual efforts, if F1 is to stabilize, and prosper. Infighting cannot be any good to anyone's ends.

It's all getting a bit tiresome now innit? They should just get the **** sorted and get on with it. Enough of seeing who can piss higher up the damn post already.
