Though… Max could always explains, that on the video, he was spanking the Nazis.
He could almost look as the nice guy in the story.

Metaphorically spanking, but literally banging.
We should cut the guy some slacks…. that was an amazing performance for an almost 70 years old guy.

I am scared with the last developments of this case.I can understand that some don´t like Mosley and take advantage of it, but people such as Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart or any other driver have no moral to criticize Max, in their heyday they did a lot more than him, the difference is nobody caught them on video…What is this suddenly wave of morality sweeping the globe?This "Big Brother" intruding on people lives between four walls?Beware, you can be next!

I guess Clive got it right in his blog entry A Song for Max http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=258 when he suggested printed the lyrics to a Madness song which included the following linesHow can you show your face, When you're a disgrace to the human race?

From today's report in the Telegraph:

According to one source, Mosley's deepening madness led to a barrage of insults against the people of Bahrain delivered in a telephone exchange with Ecclestone after receiving the letter inviting him not to darken the paddock door in Sakhir. Ecclestone was in the presence of the crown prince at the time, who it is believed heard every word. Mosley later called back to apologise to his majesty in person. What a mess.

I should have said the quote is from

"The World Council’s only concern is whether that list is accurate and truthful," he said. "We are not concerned with whether there are issues over how that is obtained. Unless there is evidence that it is forged or inaccurate, we will take it on its face value."

The quote is Max’s comment on the McLaren texts so if that is his honest opinion he should not care whether his activities came to light after an invasion of privacy. Of course there is one rule for Mosley/Ecclestone/Ferrari and another for eveyone else. Seems odd that someone who doesn’t care how information is obtained has called an EGA to discuss an invasion of his privacy.

But it could be perceived that way and perceptions are what matters… Or maybe I’ve picked up too much from F1 websites over the years.

I thought it made sense. I didn’t agree with it though.

Re-reporting it only creates the perpetuates scandal which is supposed to be a bad thing.

Innocent of what? It’s not about innocence it’s about whether this kind of reporting is a proper means of forcing someone out of a position of power.

Number 38, I’m glad someone’s said that, even though I disagree…

Michael, you can't expect me to ignore what's going on on the off chance that Mosley may be entirely innocent. I've reported this story with what I consider a due degree of scepticism (see my original post in which I explained my misgivings about the 'Nazi' angle).

Mr. Michael Counsell apparently doesn’t realize the mess MadMax has made of F1 racing. Frankly I don’t give a hoot what MadMax does in his off hours but if this is what it takes to clear us of him, so be it. ANYTHING to rid us of him is acceptable, ANYTHING! He IS that bad!

On this topic, the blog is just as bad as the News of the World. First they pay someone to back up their story and essentially retell it then make up the some tenuous conclusions which insult the intelligence of anyone who reads it. By posting a link and agreeing with they’re conclusions and referring to this article as "further proof" you are advocating the newspaper articles and sexposes (typo but im leaving it in…) into private lives should be used in order to remove people from positions of authority.

Imagine of Max Mosely was found to be gay or bisexual. In a lot of countries that is illegal. Should he then have to resign? What about if he was found to be a polygamist in some countries that is legal and acceptable for people with power?

And another thing if he was seriously a Nazi why isn’t he spending more time fronting some kind of Nazi organisation (like his dad) because surely he has contacts. Instead he’s running a worldwide automobile association and trying to campaign against racism and trying to improve the environment. Where is the logic in that?

His position isn’t compromised as the answer to blackmail over your personal life, slander and libel is legal action. That’s the whole reason these laws exist.

Best thing for the sport is if the newspapers/websites and blogs stop reprinting and linking to the articles. If they do really care about the sport as they claim they would. Freedom of press is a good thing but freedom implies a choice.

Four out of the six F1 car manufacturers, including the largest car manufacturer in the world, want him out. Bahrain asked him not to even visit their country while they host the F1. Numerous motorsport clubs from around the world have asked him to leave. If he can’t meet any of these people, if he is persona non grata with all these organisations, then he cannot function as President of the FIA. It is as simple as that, he must go and the sooner the better for motorsport.

@Rohan:"And as for why German? 2 of the prostitutes were German"According to the NOTW, he also spoke German to the three English-speaking prostitutes, as well as speaking in English with a fake German accent
