Mosley won't stand for another term

I look forward to you making no comparisons between any events in the past and present ever again, then.

Given that the opinion voiced in your signature makes just such a judgment in favour of one driver over all others that had gone before him, despite the fact that the achievements of drivers from one era are just as hard to compare with those of other eras as are the achievements of teams (unless you're being purely statistical), I'd say that you're not averse to such comparisons when they suit you.

Me too. I think we should all have one along similar lines.

I think you should try to understand what one means before posting.

In the era when Stewart started his F1 team, it was fairly easy to luck into a podium or a win given the number of technical DNFs.

Nowadays this is fairly harder, because of the much higher reliability levels.

That criteria is no different to any of those that make it impossible to compare drivers from different eras. And I know full well what I and you mean before posting, thank you very much. My comprehension is actually quite adequate.

I wouldn't use the term "luck into" but I take your point about reliability being better today than it once was. However, winning in F1 has never been easy, or even "fairly easy".

The Stewart team emerged from Paul Stewart Racing, which had been very successful, and highly respected, over a number of years in a number of different racing categories. They didn't "luck into" that success either.

Mosely's more recent comments about JYS (Max appears unable to stop bullying when he's warmed to his them :rolleyes :) are again beneath contempt. To describe a 3xWDC as a "failure" is laughable. Oh, I'm sure Max has ensured that his comments were worded in a way that wouldn't attract legal action, but for an FIA President to be talking (again) about an F1 champion in these terms is bringing the sport into further disrepute.

Please give us a brake with this "bringing the the sport into further disrepute"!
Coming from someone who thinks that McLaren and RD with their cheating and lying didn't do the most harm to the sport it's a bit rich and hypocrite to the highest level.

I have no doubt that the events of last year did a great deal of harm to the sport but McLaren have been fined $100m and removed from the 2007 WCC. They've been punished for their part in events.

That, however, is no form of defence for Max and his indefensible comments about a 3xWDC. I have little doubt that if someone in F1 (i.e. under the jurisdiction of the FIA), perhaps a team owner, described the FIA President as a "certified halfwit" and a "failure" they would be hauled in front of the FIA to explain their comments at the very least.

Please give the whole "McCheats, Ronspeak, lying etc" BS a brake then.

It's history, the team have been punished and the McLaren fans have accepted it.

It's a bit rich and hypocritical to ask people to stop discussing a current issue when you can't leave alone something that's done and dusted.

:rolleyes:

Or, indeed, if one wants people to stop going on about Michael Schumacher's misdemeanours.

ioan, you always say that you're merely commenting in the same way about McLaren, etc, as others do/did about your favourite driver. I didn't like that then, and I don't like the tone of the endless moralising about McLaren now. So, please turn the record off.

If it is true, and Max does intend to stand down - who should be President of the FIA (not the F1 Boss)?
