The FIA on Friday issued legal proceedings against Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Brawn GP, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso following their announcement they are to start a breakaway series.

"It will all stop some time between the beginning of 2010 and March 2010 with the first race in Australia," said Mosley. "It will all settle down and everybody will go racing."

That, in part, was in retaliation to Ferrari instigating arbitration proceedings on Monday to protect their contractual rights with the FIA.

As of now, the world of Formula One is poised to sink into the mire of litigation, and given FIA president Mosley's legal background, there is a real threat it will be a bloody and long battle.

Despite the stalemate between the two sides, and there appearing to be no way back, Mosley is convinced there will be peace in our time - drawing on his own past experience.

"Always with these things in the end there is a compromise because they can't afford not to run in the Formula One world championship, and we would be very reluctant to have that without them," remarked Mosley.

"But I don't take this as seriously as some people do because it is all posturing and posing.

"You have to remember we did all of this back in 1981. Bernie and I ran a rebel series. We started the World Federation of Motorsport, had a calendar of races, and we actually ran what the FIA described as a pirate race.

"But in the end we settled with the FIA and it was all peace in our time. We went much further than these people at the moment are talking about."
