this is from persempre cos she is having probs with this thread

quote dsob

Obviously talks with Bernie are, in a way, talks with CVC.

But isn’t this the first time that FOTA have actually mey with CVC at their offices?

I could be wrong, of course, I just don’t recall it being stated so plainly before.

end quote

I’ve no idea if they have had direct contact, dsob, (which is why I said “I think CVC were involved in the last negotiations”) but in the FOTA press conference of 25th June Luca di M said “I’m confident we can find a solution with CVC in the next days – CVC is the company that owns the rights of F1″.

Flav was also meant to be working with CVC & Bernie.

CVC issued their own press release the previous day (24 June) which speaks of CVC, FOM & FOTA.

My guess would be that someone represented CVC in negotiations & that Bernie was there for FOM. Possibly some agreement has been reached whereby outstanding money will be paid to the teams when a new CA is signed – just my thoughts, though. Nothing definite.

But FIA need to get back to the position it was formed for and that is to oversee the regulations, not create them.

Yes, scunny, an opinion we share. And if you haven't done so yet, please read my HUGE post in persempre's Forum thread , which has to do with that subject and more. I believe it is on page 2, toward the bottom. oh, completely off-topic--I never noticed about exchanging e-mails, but I did take advantage of mp4 posting his and shot him off a note asking if he would give my address to you

I don’t know why you’re asking me about this Mp4-19b…But if Max’s son is anything like his father as max is like HIS father Oswald, then maybe he’s a bit warm down there to rest at all and max will probably follow him. Soon maybe???? So max resigning won’t make a spot of difference. And i have said before he’ll have to have the presidency crow barred/pribarred away from his sleazy grip. I would hope Max’s son is in a better place now, But Max has too much power on his mind to think of anything or aybody else’s feelings, even those dear departed.

Anyway on a different note i am surprised that you, MAKSUTOV and DSOB have not replied to my request for my email contact request. I don’t mind giving out my email address to people i think i could get on well with.

max mosley’s late son will rest in peace, only if his father resigns. max please resign, at least for your son’s sake. if you don’t, he’ll haunt you in your sleep. max remember amityville. what do you say scunny?

i agree Bigbadderboom. I’ve been saying similar. Yes Jackie Stewart may make a good President for FIA, but it has to be an outsider from motorsport experience. He can have as many advisors as he chooses. But FIA need to get back to the position it was formed for and that is to oversee the regulations, not create them.

I am afraid I disagree wasiF1, I think the FIA needs to be fronted by a smart individual who understands the Motor industry but does not have allegances within the motorsport world. The FIA needs to be run by a businessman, not an ex-driver, ex-team owner or ex principle. This is the only way that trust can be built up again, and future governance will remain fair and not as intrusive as Mad Max has made it.
