Paul Stoddart? You've got to be joking, surely?

Maybe Luca will propose Jean Todt!

Well, you can't get further removed from motorsport than Robert Mugabe. What do you think?

It has become increasingly obvious that there will only be a new FIA President when the current incumbent decides to step aside.

I didn't ask you why nobody stands against Mosley, just who would be better.

Once again a Mclarenista fails to provide the name of somebody who would be better.

That speaks volumes.

Very stereotypical outlook you have there Tamburello.

I'm not too sure who would be best for FIA head, but I think it would have to be someone without strong ties to any of the current teams, and with a sporting outlook (rather than business).

To be fair, I think Mosley overall does a good job, so am happy for him to stay on.

Declaring that Mosley is incapable but failing to provide the name of a valid alternative is worthy of such a stereotype.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much about McLaren, if you see what I mean.

Does every single post you make have to come back to them?

I'm aware you didn't ask that question, but forum thread discussions often cover any number of points, and I was simply putting forward a point I felt worth making.

The fact is the plight of those wishing to stand against Mosley was made "incredibly difficult" by the changes he introduced. Perhaps if the FIA were not structured the way it is we would have the opportunity of witnessing a meaningful election. Then, and only then, would we see the caliber of candidates prepared to stand.

Forget the 'meaningful election', I know all about that situation. I asked who do you think would be better ?
