Jun.19 (GMM) Bernie Ecclestone has once again raised the spectre of a formula one 'breakaway' -- but warns that he will not be able to lead the sport if that does happen.



The F1 chief executive, at war with the out-of-favour FIA president Max Mosley over a new Concorde Agreement, is contractually bound to the Paris body through Formula One Management's (FOM) long-term lease of the sport's commercial rights.



But with the separate tripartite Concorde Agreement now out of date, 77-year-old Ecclestone says one solution to the current impasse for the teams is to simply go it alone without FOM or the FIA.



"I told the teams, if they wish to break away, then do it, but we couldn't be part of it," the Briton is quoted as saying by eatsleepsport.com.
