Michael36... Ferrari can't be bigger than the sport for the same reason you cannot be bigger than yourself!
Ferrari ARE F1! They are the only team that have been there almost since the very beginning. They are protesting against Max and Bernie's persistent meddling into the sport. This is nothing to do with capping the spending or making it a "spectacle for the viewer" by making it a so called level playing field, it is about more money for the FIA/Max/Bernie gang. And the fact that not enough of the money the top teams are spending is ending-up in the aforementioned pockets!
Afterall the money spent by the top teams are being spent in the industry and the improvements benefit Motorsport in general. It just doesn't benefit Messrs Ecklestone & Mosely. Just look at the Silverstone vs. Donnington saga! All about money, nothing to do with the spectacle or what the drivers/spectators want!
Where is the consultation in all this? Dictatorship in its purest form! (And I should know what that looks like!)
So you can't blame those who PUT the most money IN the sport wanting to have a true say in the matter.
Ferrari is F1, F1 is Ferrari. Everyone else has only just joined the club! Remember how much F1 meant to Enzo around the time Mr. Ford came buying? Where is FORD now? Even the Cosworth engine eventually died of a slow and painful death in F1!
