    FROM AUTOSPORT:

    Team principals are to hold a meeting at Renault's headquarters in Enstone on Thursday night to discuss their response to the FIA's offer of a deal to end the stand-off over entries to the 2010 championship.

    As revealed by AUTOSPORT yesterday, FIA president Max Mosley has outlined the terms he would be willing to accept from the teams not currently entered - with the final deadline for them to lift conditions attached to their applications expiring tomorrow.

    Mosley is offering a compromise 100 million Euro cost cap for next year, and says he is willing to address concerns about governance with a new Concorde Agreement, but only if the teams first lodge unconditional entries so changes can then be made.

    With sources suggesting that the teams are not totally happy with what has been offered, a meeting of the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) has been arranged at Renault's team factory for 7pm local time.

    No statement about the conclusions from the meeting are expected this evening, but teams have until the close of business in Europe on Friday to lift the conditions attached to their entry – or risk being left off the grid.

    The FIA remains in discussion with a number of potential teams about being granted a place on the grid next year if any of the current teams are left out.

    Controversially, the FIA has already put Ferrari, Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso on the entry list because it believes the teams made a commitment to the sport in deals they signed with the governing body and Formula One Management several years ago.

    FIA president Max Mosley is expected to be at Silverstone tomorrow.

    Hopefully, and expectantly, by you personally Steve! :)

    In all seriousness, I reckon he needs to keep a *really* low profile - The British fans in particular aren't the dummies (the 10 of 'em!) that were in Turkey - I really think he's going to hear, and hopefully see, the feelings of the fans where it all began.

    Anyone got any really good slogans that those attending wouldn't mind hanging up around the circuit? - Can't be too "rude" or the TV won't show 'em, but if they're a combination of "witty" yet suitably vitriolic the BBC (?) may just pick 'em up..... Come on all you "writers" out there, what have you got? ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian

    That is very brave of him.

    I would have thought he would have just seen it out from the bunker at this point...

    Yes a bit like when he was told he was being followed to his Chelsea flat for a good spanking session, he took no heed.

    There are alot of parallels in history to the way Max works, amazing really he must not have read the ending.

    Must be getting old Steve!

    From what I can see, it says "Ciao, Mamma Butta La Pasta" - "goodbye.. mom, put on the pasta". AFAIK it means "time to go home"... sort of like changing "na na na na.... na na na na.... hey hey hey... goodbye". Taunting someone that they are finished and it's time to go home, because they've lost.

    But I could be wrong.

    Hey it's always better when you figure it out for yourself:)
    Besides I initially thought it was a Balestre reference so I'm no help.
    Also it was your picture to begin with!

    No wonder you're in pain.
    I recommend strong drugs.
