The feeling behind the scenes, incidentally, is that Toyota is shaping up to leave the sport anyway and that it is pursuing the line of disasgreement with the rules to give a credible reason for its exit. Time will tell. Weve been hearing Toyota want out for a long time and they are still here.

While we wait for the grands fromages to have their meetings and decide what kind of spectacle we are going to see next year and beyond in Formula 1, I thought a brief colour post might be in order.

For the first time in years Im not staying in Monaco this year. Im in Villefranche, which is 20 minutes west by train. Its a bit spooky, I hope someone else votes soon.

The concessions made this afternoon will be financial, mainly, possibly a review of Ferraris share of revenues, possibly a review of FOMs share of revenues. I also get the impression that the manufacturer teams have put forward some to a greater extent far reaching cost saving ideas in order to try to head off the budget cap idea.

Im afraid I cant say much more that that, other than to show you the latest voting on the twitter poll weve been running on how serious Ferrari is to F1 online.
