Ferrari’s Big Bluff


Ferrari says it will walk away from Formula 1 next year if the people making the rules adopt a two-tiered regulatory structure and budget cap that sharply limits how much teams can spend each season.

The legendary automaker joins Toyota, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso in threatening to bow out if the Federation Internationale d’Automobile doesn’t back down. While the other teams are only making noise at this point, Ferrari’s board of directors voted Monday to call it quits if the rules are adopted.
