Formula One appears to be closing in on an agreement that will end the civil war between the teams and the sport's governing body (FIA).

The teams' umbrella group (Fota) and the FIA are in talks aimed at reaching a compromise over the disagreement.

The two parties have been in dispute over plans for a budget cap and the future of the sport.

Sources say negotiations are at a "delicate stage" but both sides are hopeful of reaching an agreement.

Fota have responded to a letter from FIA president Max Mosley after he urged them to this week submit an unconditional entry for next year.

Mosley made it clear if they did so, he would sit down with all the confirmed entrants and listen to their proposals with regard to the shaping of the regulations for 2010.
