Almost certainly, McLaren-Mercedes holds the same view, though its recent troubles with the FIA over the 2007 industrial-espionage scandal against Ferrari, and this year's lying affair at the Australian Grand Prix, are likely keeping the team silent on the matter--for now.
Ferrari will have company when they jump ship. I wouldn't mind seeing a competing league, especially if it included a few U.S. stops.
