Mosley (69 year-old) is said to be very stubborn indeed but now is ropedancing. Ecclestone (79 y-o) is trying to save his incredible income . Half of the benefits Eccs gets from track owners and other sponsors of F1 as a group is for himself; the other half for FOTA. I believe FOTA is eventually fighting the big battle to get full control of their business.

Follow the money.

FOTA and FIA have reached an agreement.
 
FOTA won't push forward any alternative championship. Max Mosley won't be next FIA president. 2010 F1 Championship will be run under the same rules than current 2009 Championship, though there will be some sort of cup for teams costs next year.

Edmunds calls it a win for FOTA
 
Gee, ya think?
 
Don't worry Steve, it's always a soap opera in F1. The next battle will be over venues since the makers don't like having to go to peripheral markets like Dubai and Turkey while F1 gives the short end to North America and Britain.

Yeah, I believe it has become as intrinsic to F1 as high-rev. engine noise and petrol/rubber scent are. I believe too that FOTA will push Eccs back to visit again North America.
