And wheels to come. Is has a line drawn in the sand or is much of this posturing. To try to bring Formula One as it stands. To a new level posturing and Formula One my thought -- happens.

And my sources are telling me that is going to be critical the -- teams are waiting to see what happens there whether it's. Something's going to change with regard to Max Mosley or some other bombshell will be dropped. Now they at least know enough to wait and see what happens on Wednesday and we'll go forward from there -- will await further word lawyers -- power and money. That's what it all comes down it's up had an X had a contract that will we'll see you next in Germany the German Grand Prix coming.
