He changed lots of things in better in F1. He hugely worked towards improving the safety in motor sports. We got to the point where we don't have TC anymore and this going against McLaren and Williams opposition for many years.
He was on the brink of bringing back customers car teams to F1, and again it was the teams who stopped him doing so.
2 race engines and 4 race gearboxes might seem against the spirit of F1 but made life easier for smaller teams.
Engine freeze is against the spirit of F1 but it helps again cutting the costs for the small teams who don't have to foot ever increasing bills for their engines.
You see, he might have done things that seem wrong to you but all have a positive side. And than there are all those things that were simply in the interest of the sport.
The positives of Mosley's work outweigh by far the negatives, but you need some good will to try and see this, through all the bias you have against he guy.
That's exactly the problem, you think and express plenty of things about him without knowing anything.
And I maintain that you are criticizing him based on him penalizing the McLiars, which is one of the best things he did in F1.
