I was just saying as much to Susy. Max could emerge with a tiny trace of dignity if he now says "I've won the vote, which was important for me personally, but now it's time to step down for the sake of the FIA and motorsport".
I wouldn't get my hopes up though :s
Well done, Max and dignity are difficult to combine in the same sentence :)Quote:

I'm really disappointed by this. Aside from anything, Max doesn't seem to have done anything other than defend himself since the story broke; the only race he turned up at was Monaco, and most of the teams refused to meet him then. He also said that if he survived then he wanted the role to be more low-key until his term expires in a year or so. Erm, isn't there a lot of stuff that needs to be sorted out before then? I get the feeling that Bernie's going to have to step in in the off-season over the customer cars issue as that simply won't wait until next summer.
You need to appreciate that this is how the News Of The World gets most of its publicity. They're well known for organising elaborate situations to entrap high-profile public figures, criminals, or celebrities. Google "Fake sheik" and you'll get an idea of their modus operandi.Quote:

Our Bulgarian member has voted for Max - I am happy :)
Interesting observation is that if the vote at the FIA would have been representative of the size of the organisation (as mentioned earlier) rather than the number of organisations, it would have been similar to the results of our vote.
As it is, we know that the FIA doesn't work like that ;)
I wonder if all the smaller members are Ferrari fans as well :laugh:
Bernie's view:

"It's business as usual as far as I'm concerned. I hope it hasn't destabilised sponsors or manufacturers. I've always said publicly that I thought he should stand down at the end of the year. We are now in a position where nobody quite knows (what will happen). All those who said things in the past, I don't imagine they are going to change their opinion now. It's going to be difficult for him to act as a president of the FIA if the people who said before that they don't want to meet with him maintain that position."
Tell me some statistics of the driving population of Bulgaria and what events your governing body hold thanks.Quote:

Why that allows a vote equal with others escapes me.
I don't think so! This is a farce :pQuote:
