May 30 (GMM) Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone are believed to have clashed over the FIA president's latest radical idea for the future of formula one.
The specialist magazine Auto Motor und Sport claims that Mosley - to complement his vision for road-relevant and environmentally friendly V6 engines in 2011 - is looking into introducing a standardised chassis to further get costs under control.
Mosley's apparent vision is that individual teams be allowed to modify the standard car, both mechanically and aerodynamically, so that the talent of race winners and champions is truly obvious.
But F1 supremo Ecclestone is quoted as reacting: "That (idea) has nothing to do with formula one."
Mosley said: "I can remember when 30 or so of the 33 cars in the Indy 500 were built by March, and that didn't bother anybody."
