Ferrari not willing to enter F1 in 2010 under current conditions

The Ferrari team has said in an official statement it does not wish to take part in the 2010 FIA Formula 1 world championship. The Italian team has said it shall not join the other F1 teams until the conditions of its entry are satisfied.

The Ferrari team spread the following statement after seeing the FIA's official entry list which was announced earlier today:

Ferrari submitted on 29 May 2009 an entry to the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship which is subject to certain conditions. As of today, these conditions have not been met; notwithstanding this and despite Ferrari's previous written notice to the FIA not to do so, the FIA has included Ferrari as a unconditional participant in next year's Formula One World Championship.

For the avoidance of any doubt, Ferrari reaffirms that it shall not take part in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship under the regulations adopted by the FIA in violation of Ferrari's rights under a written agreement with the FIA.
