Ferrari won’t race in 2010 until their entry conditions are satisfied 

Shortly after the publication of the 2010 Formula One entry list, Scuderia Ferrari has clarified through a press release that even if the team has been confirmed as an unconditional entrant, they won’t compete in the 2010 F1 championship until the conditions of their entry are satisfied.

The Ferrari press release read:

Following publication of the list of entries for the 2010 Formula One World Championship, which includes Ferrari as an unconditional entrant, Ferrari wishes to state the following:

• Ferrari submitted on 29 May 2009 an entry to the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship which is subject to certain conditions. As of today, these conditions have not been met;

• notwithstanding this and despite Ferrari’s previous written notice to the FIA not to do so, the FIA has included Ferrari as a unconditional participant in next year’s Formula One World Championship. For the avoidance of any doubt, Ferrari reaffirms that it shall not take part in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship under the regulations adopted by the FIA in violation of Ferrari’s rights under a written agreement with the FIA.
