and also pleasing that the FIA, which is the governing body and
the FOM, which represents those who have organised Formula 1 these
past years and Ferrari, which is the only team to have taken part
in the World Championship, without a break, since its inception
(in 1950) have together put out a strong message of stability for
the future of Formula 1. This agreement is in line with what Ferrari
had hoped for, for a long time.'

pleased to have reached this agreement with Formula One’s
