Van Woerkom also said that it was normal that the clubs getting money from the FIA voted in favour of Mosley, although he denied there was corruption involved.
"It is more or less difficult to say, but there is a lot of money going around and if you get a small piece of that bread it can be very nice to eat," Van Woerkom said.
"Corrupt is not the way, I won't say it. But when you look at the McLaren fine, that is a lot of money, and when you get something from that you are more or less in favour of the people giving you that bread.
"So that's normal in life, although in some countries that's normal."
The bigger associations were unhappy that Max was thinking about giving most of the money to the smaller and poorer asociations in an attempt to raise their level.
They took the opportunity with the sex scandal and tried to changed the head of the FIA in an attempt to change the direction of the cash flow.
It was never about how good or bad Mosley is in his position as head of the FIA.
Sorry, but MAx has employed those who support him, and they are the ones that voted. SOrry this just shows how corrupt the FIA is and I feel they have lost some credibillty with this move.
Yes his private life is his, but he thrust himself into the public domain recently with various situations and for that reason the press went for him all guns blazing.
The man is a silly old fool, and should resign now......
Well, this is very worrying.
The problem is that each representative gets 1 vote. The smallest get the same power as one of the American representatives with 100,000,000 members behind them.
So, Max ran a 3 line whip bribing and bullying the smaller members to toe the line.
Problem is that the people that voted against Max hold the power in the FIA and they are still against him and threatening to split from the FIA.
Max might be left holding a toothless FIA at this rate. Whatever happens, this is far from over.
Are you kidding? He just won the first battle! Bring on the next one! :DQuote:
