FIA vs Teams and some Miscellaneous stuff

In a related move FOTA has suspended Williams from its membership for signing up for the 2010 season. This is spoiling for a huge fight and as of now it seems like the 2010 season is in trouble. With the spending "cap" at the center of the dispute it eventually all boils down to the money. The FIA seemed to be backing down , but with some signs of splintering by Williams it remains to be seen how this will go. Ferrari have gone to court and its looks like it will be some time before the issues are settled. I guess with the economy looking up things could take a further turn.

In a related move the FIA seems to be inclined to allow a breakaway championship and they are willing to grant recognition for the same. This seems to be one of the ways of limiting the damage of the big teams walking away from the sport.

Lewis backs Button....

With his car not really showing any great pace Lewis Hamilton has put his money on Button winning his first world championship! Most people would tend to agree with the Briton a Whopping 40+ points ahead of KR, FM & LH. Vettel and RB are closer , but you wouldn't realistically expect them to win.
