Concorde Agreement
Following approval by the World Motor Sport Council, late last
night FIA President Max Mosley signed the 2009 Concorde Agreement,
heralding a renewed period of stability for the FIA Formula One World
Championship.
The Concorde Agreement – a contract between the FIA, F1’s
Commercial Rights-Holder and the participating Teams – sets out the
basis on which the Teams participate in the Championship and share in
its commercial success.
The WMSC has also approved a slightly revised set of stable
Sporting and Technical Regulations (to apply from the 2010
Championship onwards), which have been agreed by the FIA and the Teams
and which will be published shortly on the FIA's website.
The new Concorde Agreement, which runs until 31 December 2012,
provides for a continuation of the procedures in the 1998 Concorde
Agreement, with decisions taken by working groups and commissions,
upon which all teams have voting rights, before going to the WMSC for
ratification.
In addition, as agreed in Paris on 24 June 2009, the Teams have
entered into a resource restriction agreement, which aims to return
expenditure to the levels that prevailed in the early 1990s.
With the 2009 Concorde Agreement and the resource restriction
agreement in place, the FIA looks forward to a period of stability and
prosperity in the FIA Formula One World Championship.

| With the good news about Felipe's recovery, speculation is at fever
pitch about who will replace Felipe for the rest of this season.
Michael Schumacher - BBC is reporting the MS has not ruled out a
return. This comes a day after Ferrari top brass said it would not
rule out a return of MS.
Fernando Alonso - In four weeks there is a race in Spain, and with
Renault serving a one race suspension for not informing their driver that
his wheel was not secured properly during an in race pitstop, Fernando is
left without a ride. Ticket sales are already slow, and organizers
are fearful about the result of having the most popular man in Spain not
involved. Now here is the rub, Fernando's contract with Renault says
that he must get a car to drive in every race of 2009. Fernando is
also rumored to be signed with Ferrari for next year. It would be
quite a spectacle to see Fernando in the Red Cars at his home race...hmmm
Ferrari Test Drivers - No one is mentioning them, but there is
currently 2 test drivers in Maranello. |

Budapest, 28 July 2009 - More good news as far as the condition of
Felipe Massa, recovering at Budapest's AEK hospital since 25 July after
the accident during the Hungarian GP's qualifying, is concerned.
"His condition is improving quickly and constantly. He is more and
more awake and reactive," Dino Altman, his personal doctor, said.
"He spoke to several people today, using three different languages,
replying always in a coherent way. He's also progressing with his
physiotherapy very well. He opened his left eye and confirmed that he can
see with it. As far as the near future is concerned we have to be
cautious, but I have to say that also today there are very positive
signs."
This morning Stefano Domenicali came back to Budapest. "It's good to
have comforting news. I spoke to Felipe and it was very emotional for me:
he recognised me and I brought him a message from everybody at Ferrari and
from the fans all over the world. I told him that his red car will wait
for him until he's ready to race again. Now we've got to take it step by
step and remain cautious, but it's really incredible to see all of this
progress only three days after the accident."
Many messages wishing him well arrived at Felipe and his family over the
last hours and several friends came to Budapest to see him. Today Jean
Todt and Michelle Yeoh,who met and spoke to the Brazilian driver, arrived
in the Hungarian capital. |
