Mosley can't guarantee Prodrive F1 ticket in 2009
04 December 2007Prodrive announced last month the team will not enter Formula 1 in 2008. The team though did pay to enter the sport. FIA President Max Mosley reveals the team will most likely lose its entry-fee of 300,000 euros but also it won't have a guaranteed entry for 2009.
When Mosley was asked if Prodrive would receive a penalty for not entering the sport while it did sign for an entry in Formula One he told The Paddock Magazine: "They've paid the €300,000, and they'll probably lose that. But that's probably it. I don't think anybody is going to go after them. If Prodrive could be there, they would be there, but they haven't got the backing (of all the other teams).
"There's nothing to stop them entering for 2009. At the request of his financial backers, David Richards asked me what guarantee could we give that his entry would be accepted in 2009. I had to tell him that he didn't have any guarantee. In the normal course of events, Prodrive's entry would be accepted [again], but the situation without the Concorde Agreement is as it was before the Concorde Agreement - people submit entries, and the FIA accepts or rejects them."
