Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has vowed to ensure that Formula 1 does not "disintegrate" because of the current row between the teams and the FIA.
Ecclestone has been watching as the disagreement between the governing body and the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) escalated, with the members of the group now prepared to create a rival series.
The Formula One Management boss, however, is determined to become involved in trying to find a solution to the problem, which centres on the FIA’s planned introduction of an optional budget cap from next season.
“I have given 35 years of my life and more to Formula 1," Ecclestone told The Times. "My marriage broke up because of Formula 1, so I am sure as hell not going to let things disintegrate over what is, in the end, basically nothing.
"If you analyse the problems, there aren’t any that can’t be easily solved.”
On Saturday at the British Grand Prix, won by Sebastian Vettel, Ecclestone revealed that should Donington Park be unable to host the 2010 running of the event, it will be staged at Silverstone.
