A copy of the letter, addressed to International Automobile Federation (FIA) president Max Mosley and Formula One's commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone, was seen by Reuters.
"We hope that you will consider that this letter represents significant movement by the teams, all of whom have clearly stated a willingness to commit to the sport until the end of 2012," it added.
