NEWS STORY

FIA President, Max Mosley, has revealed that he will meet with members of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, following the Hungarian Grand Prix, and ahead of F1's 'summer break'.

Mosley was originally scheduled to meet the drivers on Friday at Silverstone, however the meeting was cancelled in the wake of comments made by David Coulthard to the British media, in which the Scot was critical of regulations introduced in recent years.

There was already a certain amount of 'bad feeling' between Mosley and the drivers following a document signed by 19 of them which was presented at the time of the World Motor Sport Council.

Over the French Grand Prix weekend there was further 'hostility' when it was claimed that Mosley had made a "threatening" phone call to Coulthard. Then, on Monday came Coulthard's comments to the British media, which led to Mosley cancelling the scheduled meeting, claiming that the drivers were making political mileage out of the situation.

Now, Mosley has agreed to meet the drivers: "August 1, in the afternoon, in Cannes," he told Reuters.

Most F1 drivers live in Monaco, just a few miles along the Riviera; "For the rest, it's just a question of getting in the private jet," added Mosley.
