The sport stands at a crossroads, with Ferrari, Renault, Toyota, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso all threatening to withdraw at the end of this season unless fundamental revisions are made to the new regulations.

"The FIA throws at us a new thing every week; we've gone from medals to diffusers with embarrassing thoughtlessness and we can't go on like this. We must protect the work of our employees," Briatore said.

Central to the argument is the optional £40million budget cap to be imposed for next year that will create a two-tier F1.

Equally as crucial is Mosley's governance of the sport, described by Briatore this week as "unilateral", as the 68-year-old has acted without prior consultation with the teams.

Briatore maintains no team ideally wants to leave F1, that it is a last resort, but insists motor sport's world governing body and Mosley have to be more flexible rather than dictatorial.

"The teams are F1 and the international federation should simply be the referee," added Briatore.

"The rules should be written by us. They can't be imposed by Max without him speaking to anyone. That's an unacceptable way to work."

However, insisting the teams are willing to work with the FIA, the 59-year-old added: "It must be clear that we, Ferrari, and the others have no intention of breaking with the FIA.

"We want to be there, to participate, and to preserve the future. We are setting logical conditions for Mosley."
