FOTA Walks Out of Meeting with FIA

One should be asking when upon seeing this news: Why can't F1-related parties grow up? Parents often tell their children to not walk way in the midst of conversations, only for their good work to go to entire waste when F1-related parties are setting the example. It seems people from Formula One Teams Association (FOTA)—made up of BMW Sauber, Brawn GP, Ferrari, McLaren-Mercedes, Renault, Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso and Toyota—reportedly walked out of a meeting with representatives from FIA.

The meeting was of course convened to negotiate the regulation changes for next season after FOTA and FIA temporarily found peace. With FOTA representatives leaving the table, presumably only representatives from Williams, Force India and the three newcomers (Team US F1, Campos Grand Prix and Manor Grand Prix) were left behind, awkward and wondering “not again...” FOTA has yet to explain their very abrupt departure, but we hope they eventually will, so that parents know what to tell their children.
