It's been just ten days since the infamous peace deal brokered between the FIA, FOTA and FOM was announced in Paris, ending the threat of a breakaway championship in 2010 which could have brought an end to premier class single-seater, open-wheel racing as we know it. However, through adversity, common sense seemingly prevailed.

But in the intervening ten days, other than a few leaked letters sent by a rattled Max Mosley, the silence on the FIA-FOTA-FOM (FFF) peace deal has been deafening. Mosley's 'threat' of running for re-election in October against the agreement reached with the teams, has failed to push the teams into action.

Instead, the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) is continuously working with the agreed deal behind the scenes. The three-week gap between the British and German Grands Prix has undoubtedly slowed the transfer of information between teams and the media, but with all concerned set to be in the confined space of the Nurburgring paddock together next weekend, the state of play is expected to become significantly clearer from Thursday.

Williams and Force India are yet to be re-welcomed into FOTA, a move which is unlikely to take place until final negotiations on the Concorde agreement have been concluded, while the sport's three new teams (US F1, Campos and Manor) are likely to be inducted in a similar timeframe, as the teams start to shape the rules for 2010.

The FFF peace deal was met by a considerable amount of scepticism when it was first announced a week ago last Wednesday. Firm details on the agreement were difficult to come by, and vague statements in the WMSC's press release suggested that the deal was nothing more than a pre-declared 'minutes of the meeting' of future negotiations.

Teams plan to reduce expentidure to levels of the early 1990s, but they are yet to announce how they intend to do this, and to exactly what figure the 'levels of the early 1990s' entails. No details have emerged on the technical assistance being offered by the manufacturers to the three new teams, while confusion also reigns with regards to the 2010 regulations, which the FIA says will be based on the 2009 ones, but with pre-agreed changes.

Details are also sketchy on the Concorde agreement, which governs many aspects of F1, including the commercial side. Teams have long been complaining of the cut the Bernie Ecclestone's FOM takes of F1's revenues (said to be 50%), but the WMSC's press release suggests that the commercial agreement currently in place will continue until 2012. Many teams are also rumoured to be owed huge sums of money by FOM, but there has been little mention of that either.

One of the few certainties emerging from Wednesday's announcement was the imminent retirement of current FIA president Max Mosley at the end of his term in October, but even that move was cast into doubt in a number of letters he leaked to the media last week. The Briton has been angered by comments made by FOTA chairman Luca di Montezemolo, and although he has threatened to pull his end of the deal, it is unlikely to scupper the entire agreement.

But for now, the deafening silence will continue. Work continues behind the scenes, and although FOTA's plans for a breakaway series are currently off the table, Manipe F1 understands that the concept has not yet been entirely dismissed. F1 may not yet be out of the woods, but common sense will surely prevail.
