Well here we go again – another snub/delegation? – invasion of privacy – that has been thrown out of every court he has used to try and gag this revelation.
It is an expensive life style he has – fill that in yourselves – he is totally lacking in being the respectable figure he would like to present and as such can not represent a sport dealing in billions in revenue and turnover – but if he thinks this will go away the longer he stays – sorry max – we do get bored with it – very bored but if he tries to last until next year the sponsors will leave in droves – the reasons many and manifold but that was covered earlier this week by keith – ok I dont like Max – hold my hands up there

Williams supported Mosley, becuase they thought Jean Todt as the alternative was worse.

anyone else notice that when a vote was taken by the teams for Bernie only three of them “supported” Mosley?.
they were
Ferrari
Torro Rosso
Force India

All Ferrari powered teams, could the old Marlboro racism conspiracy be forcing those teams hands?.

Maybe if people thought he was doing a good job in his position this wouldnt have been blown to such proportions.

From an unbiased point of view, its unfair that his personal life has been used to try to oust him from his job, but there have been attempts to removed him based on his professional life that have not been successful… At this point I don’t care what it takes to get him out.

Kinda reminds me of how Hitler consolidated power and wouldn’t allow himself to be removed… Coincidence?

As I have always thought, Max Mosley does not care about F1, only in himself. The Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of the season for so many fans, and the most high profile race on the calender.
As with the Bahrain event, it has been overshadowed by Mosley and his torid sex scandal. I hope to God that he gets his just desserts next month, he richly deserves it.

As much as I hate to see someone’s personal life have any impact on their professional life (especially when, apart from the media’s hyping the matter, his professional life would’ve remained unimpacted)… if the media is going to continue to keep such a negative air around Mosley that he’s become a PC “faux pas” to deal with… he is essentially rendered ineffective… and thus needs to be removed.

What is the point of a vote of confidence if it doesn’t allow for any consequences to be taken?!?

The Max Mosley story highlights the world of deceit and hypocrisy we live in . And with extreme snob behaviour thrown in for good measure. The one sure thing in life we know is we are going to die one day , and the other is that we are all sinners , Prince ALbert , King Juan Carlos of Spain , tha Bharaini Royal Family all included. I think it would be perfectly in order for them to issue statements to the effect they do not condone or agree with the things Max has been alleged to have been up to , but more importantly use this as a message to the world that spying into an individuals private life with intent to destroying somebody , is even less acceptable. Instead , they act as though their hands are too clean to shake Max’s , and join the rest of the persuctors in achieving their evil goal.

“Has the guy got any honour or dignity?”

I thought the images of him being strapped over a chair while getting spanked would have answered that question

On a serious note, how long will this ridiculous charade continue for? Max must know about a whole army of skeletons in Bernie’s closet. Thinking in Terracota Army proportions probably doesn’t come close.
But how would that be? Max takes Bernie down with him…
And what if the Grim Reaper comes and takes Bernie down first…?

How many nails in the coffin is it going to take for Mosley to go…. Has the guy got any honour or dignity?

I know this is probably going to sound very revolutionary, but would it be possible for those who have always opposed Max and Bernie in the FIA and FOM to just leave the organisation and set up on their own?
This has been muttered about before, and as far as I can tell, the current Concorde Agreement is not to everyone’s liking, but does not appear to be the basis for any further discussions at the moment.
Remember that Max, Bernie and Charlie are all where they are today because they successfully defeated the then incumbent FISA over various matters, and effectively took charge, presumably with a majority backing.
Now I think we have reached the same situation again, and if the leaders won’t leave, it should be possible for the disenchanted followers to leave instead. Why should anybody have to play by rules stacked against them? Especially when it also comes with a heavy price tag in the case of the FIA!
I expect there to be lots of muttering over my comments, as any split would appear to be disastorous for motorsport, but I think that Max and Bernie have been leading everyone, from the Administrators to the Manufacturers to the Teams and the Drivers in a direction nobody has particulary wanted to go in, and have taken lots of other people’s money for the priviledge of doing so!
