The war between the two organizations of Formula One, i.e. FOTA and FIA has finally come to a standstill and has eventually split the F1 teams into a separate entity. The FIA initially was reluctant to meet the demands of the F1 teams and stated that no team should be allowed to dictate the rules and regulations of the sport. The governing body refused to meet any demands of the car manufacturers which led to the breakaway of Ferrari, BMW, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, Brawn GP and the two Red Bull teams from Formula One. FOTA said that "these teams therefore have no alternative other than to commence the preparation for a new championship which reflects the values of its participants and partners." Truly, F1 cannot exist without the big guns like McLaren and Ferrari, and a breakaway series will definitely hold more prestige and freedom to the motorsport industry.
