Why should they? Not knowing who max Mosley is doesn't affect their life at all, which only proves my point about Max's personal life not being of any interest and not influencing what an overwhelming majority of the people think about F1, simply because they do not relate F1 to Max.

Nothing to back up there, facts stand alone, without backing up being needed.

It wouldn't affect my life if I didn't know who, to pick a random example, Joe Lieberman was, but it's good to be well-informed generally about current affairs. Your view doesn't actually prove any point at all about it not being of any interest, except to you.

Ioan my opinion of this has been stated! I agree with you on this matter.
In the grand scheme of things motor racing has not suffered because of the invasion into this man’s life!
I am still a proud member of the "Sensible Seven"! ;)

I guess I don't live within a representative group for motorsport enthusiasts. :)

I have asked a few people and without fail all knew to some extent who he was.

Most surprising was a Secratery who wasn't sure about what he did but knew his father was a Nazi (not true but understandable). She wasn't aware of SpankGate though.

Of the others, most didn't know about Sir Oswald apart from 1 but all knew of the S and M story.

What was more worrying was the assumption that he runs F1 and not the FIA.

I stress that none of these people are Motorsport fans as such although I assume some might watch F1.

These are the results of an IT company in the UK. It seems that the results from academic people in your country is completely opposite.

I cannot comment on what people in other contries know but it seems that people in the UK as well as many international leading figures are aware of the facts.

Well there are obviously differences between GB and Europe, probably down to several things: Hamilton related F1 awareness and garbage press.

Also we are not living and working within same kind of groups I suppose.

In my world people doesn't know him or his private life and they don't seem to be interested about it either, as no one asked me more than: Who is he?.

Fair enough.

As Dave and others pointed out, it was widely publicised over here including various references in popular satirical programs.

However, I accept at face value that other countries may not have had the same exposure.

Don't know what Lewis has to do with this nonsense though?

Enemy No.1 perhaps? Anyway, if Max's exploits were not publicised Europe wide, why has the old fella got several ongoing lawsuits against the press in several European countries?

The mind boggles, it really does.
