Turning the corner

The former Honda F1 team has announced that it will make the 2009 grid, having secured financing to run two cars this season - as the Brawn GP team. Team principals have thanked people such as Ron Dennis and Luca Montezemolo, and the other teams, for helping them achieve their goal. In the meantime, the Formula Teams' Association (FOTA) has proposed a package of measures designed to ensure the future good health of Formula 1. Is this form of collective and collaborative team strategy the best way forward for all sports, irrespective of the views a governing body might have?
