Montezemolo thanks fans for their support

On Wednesday the FIA World Council accepted the proposals formulated by FOTA for the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship, a championship that will be held, as suggested by FOTA, in the spirit of sporting and technological competition, with clear and fixed rules and transparent governance, handled by the F1 Commission.

The objective is to avoid continual changes decided on by one person alone and to gradually reduce costs, to get back to levels of spending similar to those of the early Nineties within the next two years. The FOTA teams constantly promoted these objectives in the interests of motorsport and all its protagonists, first and foremost the fans.

“I wish to thank all our fans, because the general public had had enough of all these changes. We hope that next year, having finally achieved stability in terms of the rules, we will see a winning Ferrari once again," were the first words from the President of Ferrari and FOTA, Luca di Montezemolo, as he came out from the FIA World Council meeting.
