Ferrari 'further isolated'
Scuderia’s rivals unite
Out in the cold - Ferrari's rivals unite
(GMM -- Jan.26) Ferrari, on Tuesday, were further isolated from their grand prix rivals at a principals' meeting inside Heathrow Hilton (London).

Not only did they shake hands on a 30-day test limit, a letter agreeing to leave Ferrari in the cold as the only team to (so far) sign Bernie Ecclestone's new 'Concorde,' was signed.

They also asked FIA president Max Mosley to delay a planned Friday meeting, slated to discuss another radical overhaul for the technical code, including a tyre monopoly.

Among other proposed (by the FIA) changes are the elimination of telemetry, standard brakes, a mandatory engine rev-limiter and two-day GP format.

In the letter, it said teams need a few grands prix - maybe up to seven or eight - to first evaluate the 2005 regulation set.

Ferrari did not attend the meeting.
