He said:

The CRH does not wish to have control over the Formula One regulations…. The FIA should be solely responsible for policing and enforcing the Formula One regulations fairly, transparently and without bias.

As I said in my previous post I look forward to you presenting any evidence or facts to back up your position. This situation reminds me of numerous online discussions in the aftermath of Schumacher parking on the racing line at Monaco. Those of us who thought he was guilty were discussing when he braked, when he came off the brakes, steering inputs while the Scumi fans in unison recited “but Michael wouldn’t do that”. 4 legs good, 2 legs bad. No thought, no consideration simply reciting their mantra.

If I was running the NOTW right now and I had Nazi evidence I wouldn’t publish it. I would wait until I got to court so that it would have more impact on the jury. Of course in the pice of video that has been released there is someone wearing a garment very similar to that worn by concentration camp prisoners. That may be enough to at least infer Nazi symbolism.

If Max has actually issued a suit against NOTW the matter will be sub judice and they will not be allowed to publish.

Personally I think Max should have been removed from office years ago for incompetence. The world sportscar championship doesn’t exist. The world rally championship has gone from ten to three works teams under his tenure. F1 grids are shrinking while he has screwed up the points system, instituted tactical chess in place of racing and demostrated bias in favour of Ferrari and blatant hatred of Ron Dennis. We have the half baked introduction of KERS next season which is his great new initiative. McLaren introduced braking energy recovery about 5 years ago and Max banned it so his lauding of KERS seems fake to me. He doesn’t believe what he is saying otherwise he would not have imposed limits on ots efficiency. It is simply the politically expedient thing to say. The man is not fit to be president.

He has put in place procedures that make it damn near impossible for any one to challenge for the presidency and has wiped FISA out of existence so that no-one can build a power base to challenge him. He has behaved like a dictator in a banana republic.

Green Flag says that in company with others I am totally wrong about the Mosley saga. TOTALLY WRONG. So I must be wrong when I said there was absolutely no need to re-negotiate a 100 year contract after a few years. I must be wrong when I said that Max was not the only person capable of negotiating the contract and that he had disqualified himself from negotiating the original contract. etc etc

I have no doubt Green Flag will come back with more hot air and no factual evidence on any of the points he has made and no contradicting evidence of any of the points made by myself or others. Simply a variation on the traditional 4 legs good 2 legs bad theme. Max good everybody else on the face of the planet wrong, self interested, gullible, naive etc etc. Prove me wrong and explain your point rather than just throwing around insults and hoping that anyone is naive or gullible enough to believe them.

You claim that I’m “ultimately wrong about the entire Mosley saga”. I presume you come to that conclusion after reading my posts – but what have I said that is “wrong”? I haven’t claimed there was Nazism involved. I haven’t claimed that he should be removed from office. I haven’t claimed that Max is an unfit president. I suspect that the fact that my posts are not proclaiming that ‘Max is great’ has led you to the conclusion that I must be biased against Max.

My two main claims in this thread have been: (1) Either Max is lying about his importance to the FIA, OR one person really is very important to the FIA (ie the office of FIA President is too powerful), which is a sad position for the organisation to be in; (2) It is possible that evidence of Nazi overtones exists.

You’ve given no arguments for suggesting that I’m wrong about (1). Regarding (2), for you the fact that NotW haven’t shown any real evidence of Nazi overtones is itself evidence that they don’t have any. I think it’s possible that they do have evidence which they are withholding until nearer the Extraordinary Meeting. This is how tabloids work. Note that I am not saying ‘certain’ or even ‘probable’; merely ‘possible’.

Meanwhile Max’s denial is either true or false. If false, he was involved in a Nazi-themed session. In this case, public knowledge of his acts would not only result in a humilating exit from his FIA role, but also in widespread public revulsion. In order to avoid this, he would have no choice but to deny the facts, and then to try to cast as much doubt on the facts as possible so that they could not be proven conclusively. Whether innocent or guilty of Nazi fantasies, any human being who wants to avoid disgrace would probably react in the way Max is reacting now. Therefore, based on Max’s current behaviour, I cannot conclude whether he is innocent or guilty of Nazi- fantasising (which I realise would not be a crime, but I do feel would be enough to be removed from office for).

I may well be missing something huge, and I may well be naive and wrong without realising it. If this is so, I would honestly appreciate being shown the light, Green Flag, instead of being on the receiving end of comments such as your previous one. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But instead of hysterically accusing me of being wrong, you’d be more likely to get me to agree with you if you put forward a convincing and enlightening argument which I may have missed.

PS: If the NOTW had any real evidence of Nazism they would have shown it by now; Max has outright denied a Nazi element and he would know whether the NOYW would be in a position contradict him.
