Max Mosley opens a can of worms.

These people know what they are talking about and they are the ones that opinions affect the FIA and F1.

How many fingers in a Kit-kat :laugh:

I knew you would be interested about the Kit Kat discussion. I recommend you a conversation with our other cheep chocolate specialist.

Come back to me when you understand (not when you believe that you do) some politics!

Cheers and Bon appetit! :D

It's not just that though, is it? The big corporate names are shunning Mozzer's hand too, which means they would rather do something else to promote their good name than associate with Smacks. Which in turn, causes teams to close, people to lose jobs in the motorsport industry and so on.

OK OK, I make it sound like it is an apocalypse, but small effects can have big consequences too.

And 24 of those clubs representing 22 different nations have called for Max to resign. They do not want him representing them.

Sorry ioan, but it seems you're chosing to ignore those in the FIA who see the damage being done.

Remember the (I think it was) Iraqi Foreign Minister, denying US/UK troops had penetrated Baghdad, when on a TV in the background you could see it all unfolding.

That Foreign Minister remind you of anyone? ;)

And they got punished for it. Also, nothing to do with the thread.

You can't just duck the issue by spouting some rhetoric and trying to deflect attention away from an obviously unsustainable, unjustifiable and unfounded.

You can spin away like a political frisbee for all I care but the basic facts remain.

Max's refusal to bow to sustained and almost universal pressure has damaged the FIA's credability.

You can deny it till the cows come home but as I said earlier, nobody takes you seriously because of stances like this.

An interesting point you raise there. In April 2005 Max Mosley proposed and had approved a change to the FIA structure regarding the election of a President. The change required any candidate to present a full cabinet in the elections and secure his deputies in advance. This is something the incumbent would have little problem doing, but made any challenger's task very difficult, if not impossible. Needless to say Max was re-elected unopposed the same year.

We will see how sustained and universal that pressure is, next Tuesday.
