More teams to sign Concorde
That's the claim of FIA president Max Mosley, who at Monza insisted that formula one – despite threats of a carmaker led breakaway – does have a future beyond late 2007.
At present, only Ferrari, Red Bull and Midland-owned Jordan have signed the new 2008 contract. ''Another three teams are on the verge of signing up to join them,'' the Englishman claimed in Italy, ''and I think it's only a matter of time before more follow soon.''
At his Monza press conference, Mosley also revealed some of the rules compromises that are likely as a result of the Milan meeting with teams and carmakers.
He said proposals for standard brakes and a regular gear shifter had been called off, and that 'active tire pressure' systems – to maintain safe tire pressures during a race – would be allowed.
