My Message to FOTA

Dear FOTA,
I am 40 years of age and have been following Formula 1 since as far back as I can remember; and I am outraged at how Mr Mosley and FIA have behaved in the past 2 years!!!

They are trying to destroy a sport that I love and that I am extremely passionate about…

Formula 1 needs CHANGE NOW, or it will lose ME and every other fan who is smart enough to move on…

It is the only sport that I know of and that I follow that does not have a logical and fair process of governance…
They are not sharing the wealth, they are not thinking about the sport (spoiled Egos) and have placed the fans, drivers and the Teams that make Formula 1 in what I call 2nd class status…

They (Mr Mosley, FIA and Mr Ecclestone) do not negotiate as they should and have acted and behaved like selfish, egotistical amateurs…

They extort revenues from venues, drivers and fans without proper returns…
No GP in America… First big mistake…
KERS… another joke! I mean, unless everyone has it… what would be the point of introducing it! I know about energy savings and so on, but if not everyone has it, then there can be no fair play…

I can go on for days, but I will stop… because I really want someone to read this!

FOTA should break away and run the sport… FOTA has been the only positive in years and if Mr Ecclestone does not want to lease or sell the right to the name… Then I am sure your organization can come up with something creative, like a contest for a new name, etc…

Of course, I don’t know what Mr Ecclestone will do with a name that isn’t worth anything without the manufacturers, the drivers and teams that make F1 great… It certainly isn’t the name or the ridiculously selfish approach being taken by those who currently govern the sport…

Mr Mosley MUST BE REPLACED, although when he replaced his predecessor, he was humble and worked for the sport… I believe he is no longer the leader he once was…

Let’s remember that leaders without elections NEVER WORK OUT!

A very concerned Formula 1 fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
