Didn't Ferrari also just sign an agreement with the FIA to race untill 2012? I forget where I read it, but Ferrari stands to make an enormous amount of money off of it somehow.
A lot of the boohooing thats going on in F1 is eerily similar to what happened to Cart before it split into two different organizations. Do I need to remind everyone here of the the utterly sad state of open wheel racing in America? LOL
I know it seems like Ferrari is getting favored by the FIA and I agree, but I don't think it's the extent people make it out to be. The problem is that it shouldn't happen at all. It's only going of piss off the other teams that spend an obscene amount of money. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them wanted a spin off series.
