I seriously doubt that there won't be two Ferraris at the Australian GP next year, but still worth posing the question - what impact could an F1 civil war have on A1GP?
In light of the developments regarding next year's entry, Ferrari said its president Luca di Montezemolo had been told to look at alternative activities for the racing team. (source: Autosport)
If we however look broader than just Ferrari, a column in Autosport are suggesting that FOTA have or are investigating buying the A1GP infrastructure and using it as a base for a new F1 (which would end A1GP in the process):
A1GP has a turn-key freight forwarding operation, race operations base, fully-fledged high definition TV operation with contracts in 160 countries and video streaming possibilities, race administration and a media centre in which internet outlets are welcome, the Pangea hospitality facility, merchandising contracts and, above all, a Michelin tyre deal. (Sauce: Autosport).
Not to mention Kyalami, Zandvoort and Surfers.
