(GMM) F1 demonstrated on Monday that peace is still some way off, after a new quarrel with the governing body broke out.
The FIA's Max Mosley has now rejected a majority vote of the new Sporting Working Group, in Barcelona last week, to scrap plans for an engine development 'freeze' in 2008.
The news coincides with the revelation that the GPMA carmakers' 'memorandum of understanding' - billed as the pathway to peace - is still yet to be signed off by F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
Mosley, meanwhile, sent a fax to teams on Monday clarifying that their vote against the 'freeze' would not be accepted because it is not a cost-neutral amendment.
He argued that teams lodged entry forms to compete beyond 2007 after the FIA published regulations that featured the multi-year 'freeze', indicating that the rule had been accepted.
