Formula One's governing body may hold off on legal action against Ferrari and teams planning a breakaway series pending further talks, FIA president Max Mosley said on Sunday. “I think we would rather talk than litigate,” the motor racing chief told reporters at the British Grand Prix when asked whether it was possible that a writ might not be issued on Monday. Mosley had not planned on attending Sunday's race after a flying visit to Silverstone on Friday. However he returned to the paddock with Formula One's commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone and Renault team boss Flavio Briatore, one of those pushing for the proposed rival series. The International Automobile Federation (FIA) said on Friday that it would be “issuing legal proceedings without delay” against champion Ferrari and the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA). The eight FOTA teams announced on Thursday they would start preparations for their own championship after talks with the FIA over the 2010 rules broke down. Brawn GP team boss Ross Brawn, however, said rebel teams will start to work flat out on their new series immediately after the British GP.
