F1 teams are on the verge of splitting into two groups, rowing over the issue of the distribution of money at the end of the season.
The topic has been debated for some time now, with teams such as Ferrari and McLaren receiving money purely because they have contested in the sport longer than others.
Dr. Helmut Marko of Red Bull also said that the energy drinks outfit deserves to make more money as they do much more for the show of the sport.
But a source told GMM that the big teams are looking to put the former teams association FOTA back together, while the smaller teams may form an entirely separate alliance.
A former grandee like McLaren that has struck competitive trouble in recent years might be caught in the middle, but a team spokesman would not be moved on the matter.
"Formula 1 has always been about the search for improvement, and we must continue to search for improvements together, as we collaborate with one another, openly and positively, to achieve the important goals that we all seek," he said.
