Bernie Ecclestone says that Ferrari's acceptance of a settlement from the FIA is an admission of guilt and that it is too late for Liberty Media or the FIA to put out this particular fire.

Seven Formula One teams launched a protest against the findings of an FIA investigation into the 2019 Ferrari power unit after an undisclosed settlement was reached between Ferrari and the FIA. Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone says that the teams should now sue the FIA.

“The teams must sue the FIA," Ecclestone told F1 Insider. "It is about millions of dollars, which I think they are entitled to. If Ferrari was so innocent, why didn't they make the settlement with Jean Todt public? To me, that looks like a confession."

The current FIA president, Jean Todt, is a former team principal of Ferrari, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by teams.

Ecclestone continued by saying, “There have always been fires that I had to put out as a fireman. In my time, however, it was always possible to find a middle way with the teams, the FIA ​​and myself. Now that is too late,"
