It's the agreement between the teams and the FIA and FOM(Formula One Management with Mr. Ecclestone as the big boss). It contains all the rules etc. It also .says how much money the teams get etc.

'Cause, if I remember correctly, FIAT(so Ferrari) was the big leader of the GPWC. Can be wrong though. And maybe it will continue but still, it's not good.
