Wonder what the new name of the series would be? Would 'FOTA' have to change their name if the F1 rights holder raises a fuss about their name? I don't follow this as closely (the politics of F1) as it's rarely reported on locally.

Now the FIA has announced that it will be filing suit against the FOTA teams, Ferrari in particular. 

Seems like Ferrari could end any such lawsuit by announcing that they will compete in both series, with plans to pull out of the FIA series as soon as their obligation expires.  Then they could field a minimalist effort in the FIA series, with young or 2nd rate drivers, in plain white cars.  The Tifosi would not follow this series, especially when Massa & Raikonen (or Alonso?) would be racing the "real" Ferrari's against McLaren and the others in the FOTA series.
