Mohammed ben Sulayem, president of the Automobile and Touring Club of the United Arab Emirates, said he still totally supported Mosley.
Abu Dhabi is one of the states of the United Arab Emirates.
Abu Dhabi is due to hold its first F1 GP next year.
The track in Abu Dhabi is accompanied by a Ferrari World amusement park.
Abu Dhabi’s government-owned Mubadala Development Company holds a five per cent stake in Ferrari and also sponsors the Scuderia.
Whilst rivals McLaren are 30 per cent owned by Bahrain’s Mumtalakat Holding Company.
Am I just being cynical, or does there seem to be some back scratching going on here ?
Undoubtedly there are going to be many ‘hidden agendas’ involved before the big one on the 3rd June.

The planet of the superspankers where everyone marches around naked offering free sex to the tune of Wagner?

Oh dear. Looks as if I’m under video surveillance too.

"In my heart of hearts I hope Murdoch did it for the sheer joy of watching Max suffer"

Oh, I wouldn’t put it past Murdoch that this might be the only reason why he/they did it.

"I fail to see how anyone with any semblance of intelligence can think that Max deserves to be sacked because of this."

Rohan, where do you live? The planet of the superspankers where everyone marches around naked offering free sex to the tune of Wagner?

Max upset Rupert Murdoch by threatening to sue one of his papers and Rupert like Max believes he is the centre of the universe and responds like a rabid dog to any attack. Before Max could organise a law suit Murdoch has totally discredited him and made him a laughing stock.

I keep reading that there is no Nazi element to the video. We have seen 90 seconds of a five hour video so we have no idea what it shows.

What about the poor hookers? Most people would spend 100 pounds per hour to avoid Mr Mosley.

GeorgeK, I really agreed with you… This is what a have in common with Max, this kind of sadism feeling to see him gradually going in down…

Someone elsewhere also pointed out Murdoch’s reason for sacking Max may have more to do with ITV losing the broadcast rights than Martin Brundle getting sued.

In my heart of hearts I hope Murdoch did it for the sheer joy of watching Max suffer, but it’s usually about money or wounded ego.

The guys from Grand prix came to arena finally. They have done the two important points in matter: “1) The latest indication of the impact of Mosley’s adventures came yesterday with US comedian Jon Stewart mocking the FIA President on the hugely successful Daily Show.Jay Leno, another talk show host, described Mosley as "the head of Formula 1 racing" used the story to complain about the strength of the Euro against the dollar, saying that American politicians can only afford one hooker, while in Europe one can get five for the same price.Let us not forget that is the kind of market penetration that F1 would love to have in America.Sadly, the coverage was not positive.

2) It is perhaps a tragedy in the true meaning of the word: a drama in which the main character is brought to ruin as a consequence of a tragic flaw or a moral weakness.These are sad and distressing times for the sport. They may also be sad and distressing for Mosley, but facing up to the realities is not something that should not be done at the expense of a sport in which are invested the aspirations and passions of millions across the world.By not resigning Mosley has left himself open to the charge that HE CARES NOTHING FOR THE SPORT.And that is yet another reason why he must resign.”

Mosley deserves everything he gets. it happens to everyone everywhere and its a great way of bringing us back down to earth, all be it with a thud, when our heads get to big. it will hopefully teach him to be less arrogant idiots and hypocritical.

Thanks, GeorgeK.

Green Flag. Think Rupert Murdoch, not Ron Dennis. Ron wouldn’t stoop to that level, but Murdoch owns the newspaper being sued by Max, as well as the NOTW.

You know what they say, don’t get into a wrestling match with a pig; you’ll just get muddy and the pig will enjoy it.
