In the wake of the FIA's confirmation of the (provisional) 2010 entry list, Ferrari has issued a statement insisting that it will not participate until the conditions of its entry are satisfied.

The statement reads as follows:

Ferrari shall not take part in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship until the conditions of its entry are satisfied.

Following publication of the list of entries for the 2010 Formula One World Championship, which includes Ferrari as an unconditional entrant, Ferrari wishes to state the following:

Ferrari submitted on 29 May 2009 an entry to the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship which is subject to certain conditions. As of today, these conditions have not been met.

Notwithstanding this and despite Ferrari's previous written notice to the FIA not to do so, the FIA has included Ferrari as a unconditional participant in next year's Formula One World Championship. For the avoidance of any doubt, Ferrari reaffirms that it shall not take part in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship under the regulations adopted by the FIA in violation of Ferrari's rights under a written agreement with the FIA.
