Why? Should everyone conform to some sort of social norm when it comes to what they get up to in private? It simply does not matter and should not matter to anyone who is not unduly prurient.Quote:

I will not be sad to see him retire/step down/overthrown... but not by means of a grubby scandal peddling rag and a convicted cheat of a team principle (assuming it is who we think it is)
I personally don't indulge in the kind of sexual activity Max does... but I believe it involved Adults and was (or should have been) conducted in private... so none of my business
They real victim is Max' wife

i Suggest we open a new sport instead - Balestre Bashing!
I think that's the way most of us feel.Quote:

I think that a lot of people view this sort of behaviour as unacceptable but then, as long as it's behind closed doors with consenting adults, then that's that.
However, In general I think Max is damaging for Motorsport and this scandle further brings his office into disrepute whether rightly or wrongly.
Whilst I think the games Maxie played with those hookers are disgusting, I don`t in any way think that that should mean he can`t be the president of FIA.Quote:

Personally, I agree 100% with you.Quote:

The people he must deal with mostly think of him as some sort of pervert, a subject of humour, lacking in moral fibre or a bit sad. That must call his suitability to represent the FIA into question.
Well, I find it hard to look at him now and not laugh, I just get these mental images that I really would prefer not to get. But that would not mean he is not capable of doing the job.Quote:

I think the 'subject of humour' bit is probably the most important. Once someone becomes a figure of fun then, rightly or wrongly, it is very hard to recover from it.Quote:
