Max's tea party

Max Mosley had his meeting with the Formula 1 team bosses who chose to attend and spent the afternoon with Jean Todt and Ross Brawn of Ferrari and Charlie Whiting, the FIA race director. None of the other teams attended the meeting, arguing that until the market research asked for by Mosley has been done there is no point in discussing how to change the rules of the sport. In addition there are signs that the teams are not going to discuss the rules of 2008 and beyond unless the discussions take place within the framework of the Formula 1 Commission.

The obvious solution to the problem would be for Mosley to call a meeting of the F1 Commission.
