Six days after nine teams - under the umbrella of the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) - submitted a conditional block entry for the 2010 championship, Mosley has insisted they can quit the sport and form their own championship. Ferrari, McLaren, Toyota, Renault, BMW Sauber, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso, Brawn GP and Force India confirmed they will sign up to F1 through to 2012, but with two concessions.

But Mosley said: "I say to them: If you want to formulate your own rules, then you can organise your own championship providing it meets the safety requirements. But we have the Formula One championship. We draw up the rules for that, have been doing that for 60 years and we will continue doing so."

The nine constructors have made it clear they will not operate under a voluntary budget cap for next season and instead, FOTA will take part in F1 under their own cost-cutting proposals to be implemented over the next three years.

FOTA are also demanding the re-signing of the Concorde Agreement - the regulatory and commercial document that governed F1 up until the end of 2007 - by all parties before June 12.

However, speaking to Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell, Mosley insisted: "A Concorde Agreement received so late can't be signed by June 12. There are 500 pages.

"We now have a dispute and we will see who prevails."

The FIA will confirm next Friday which teams have been granted an entry, and there is every possibility the nine will be excluded.

Former champions Williams have entered unconditionally, resulting in them being kicked out of FOTA last week, as they have binding contracts with the FIA and Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Management.

At present 10 new teams have confirmed lodging an entry with the FIA to run under the voluntary budget cap - Prodrive, Lola, March, Litespeed, Epsilon Euskadi, US F1, Campos Meta1, Team Superfund, N.Technology and Brabham.
