Teams to discuss response to Mosley

Formula One's team principals are set to meet for formal talks within the next two weeks to discuss their response to FIA president Max Mosley's recent call for a radical shake-up of the regulations to cut costs and make the sport greener, autosport.com has learned

Team bosses met with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone in the Williams motorhome at Hockenheim after qualifying on Saturday for their second informal get-together about the matter, following an impromptu gathering at Silverstone a fortnight ago.

It is believed the meeting was called to try and settle on talking points and an agenda for a more in-depth discussion, away from a race meeting, aimed at outlining proposals for a set of technical regulations for 2011.

Mosley wrote to the teams prior to the British Grand Prix asking the manufacturers to urgently find ways of cutting costs in half, to make the sport more financially viable while also not reducing the spectacle.

He also urged them to increase the targets for KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems) so that F1's fuel consumption can be halved by 2015.

Mosley warned that the FIA would push ahead with its own plans for 2011 unless he heard from the teams within three months.

Talking about Saturday's meeting, team owner Frank Williams said: "To tell you the truth, it was about preparing for a meeting that is going to take place in two weeks' time between the teams."

The next meeting has been scheduled for 29 July and will take place at Maranello.
