Oh, this is a good quote:

"It's wrong to say that Ferrari have been excluded."

Oh, they'll be involved, but make no mistake about it - the rest of the teams specifically agreed on the measure without Ferrari so that they could pressure them into accepting their terms. If Ferrari had been involved from the beginning, the testing agreement wouldn't have been as drastic because Ferrari would have pulled their political strings. By the end the measure would change things very little - or even exempt teams with their own tracks!

This way the teams get to say, 'agree to it or not, we don't care.' They'll cut testing, and if Ferrari don't agree they'll have an unfair advantage.

If I were Ferrari, I'd say, 'stick it. You didn't have to agree to such a ridiculous thing, so it's not our fault we have an advantage.'
