And McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh told Sky News: "I think whoever owns the sport in the future, be that the current owners or new owners, it's just important that the teams are more cohesive than they have ever been."
As for the expiring Concorde, Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali suggested that the negotiations are soon set to step into a higher gear.
"At the moment it's quiet because something is going to happen soon," the Italian told Auto Bild.
Ferrari has recently been highly critical of the current state of F1, such as the emphasis on aerodynamic development.
"If formula one is interesting in the future for manufacturers we need to ensure that all the elements of motor racing are there in equal measure," said Domenicali.
He also said F1 should not "change the rules all the time" whilst ensuring that there are races "in all the important markets".
Autosprint magazine said the teams are indeed setting out plans for simple and stable rules post 2012, the revival of key European venues, reduced ticket prices and the modernising of media platforms for the younger audience.
