FIA president Max Mosley has written to the teams outside the eight-member Formula One Teams Association, pointing out the procedures laid down in the rules.
“Article 66 of the international sporting code states that no change can be made to the published regulations without the agreement of all confirmed entrants,” he said in the letter to the three new entrants plus Williams and Force India.

“I would therefore ask you engage as a matter of urgency with the FOTA teams to seek agreement and to formalise the above principals into suitable contracts and propose a draft set of FIA regulations that all teams are satisfied with.
“Should significant problems arise, I shall be glad to involve the FIA Senate, but I hope this will not be necessary.”
“Once these arrangements have been finalised to your satisfaction, you will need to notify the FIA so that the regulations can be formally amended.”
FOTA teams threatened to form a breakaway series last month in protest at the latter rule, which they eventually persuaded the FIA to replace with an agreement to reduce spending to levels seen in the early 1990s. SkySports
