Helmut Marko has played down Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo’s threat that formula one could be headed for a split from owners CVC.<\/p>\n
Montezemolo told CNN last week that at the end of 2012 and the current Concorde Agreement CVC “doesn’t own anything” and therefore creating a different world championship is a real option for the teams.<\/p>\n
Red Bull’s motor racing consultant Marko however admitted that the dispute is fundamentally about the distribution of revenue for the next Concorde.<\/p>\n
“A suitable compromise can hopefully be found,” he told German website motorsport-magazin.com at the opening of the Red Bull Ring.<\/p>\n
“Ferrari are the best-known team and have been in F1 the longest — but being Italian, they tend to express things more emotionally than others.\u00a0 In my opinion, the situation is nowhere near as bad as it looks,” said Marko.<\/p>\n
New York Times correspondent Brad Spurgeon said the latest breakaway talk is “exasperating for the fans” coming so soon after the last political dispute with the FIA.<\/p>\n
A potential hurdle for proposed buyer News Corp is the law, with prominent competition lawyer Paul Stone reportedly concerned that Rupert Murdoch’s presence would be unfair for bidding television broadcasters.<\/p>\n
He is quoted by Germany’s Speed Week as saying a News takeover “would raise concerns”.<\/p>\n
