Mosley to Stay at the FIA
He is seriously off his rocker.

"Despite talk last year that he would probably not stand for another term, FIA President Max Mosley now claims that in the eyes of some - mainly FIA members - it is vital he remains at the helm".

Article 19 of the FIA statutes states:
"The President of the FIA, the 2 Deputy Presidents, the President of the Senate and the 5 members of the Senate other than the members by right, and the Vice-Presidents of the FIA shall be elected for 4 years in accordance with Article 9-4 of these Statutes. They shall be eligible for re-election.
The President of the FIA will choose, after his election, the World Council which he will personally chair. The appropriate deputy President will chair the other World Council. In the absence of the President of the FIA, the deputy President for the World Council which the President chairs will chair it.
The President of the FIA will assign missions and delegate specific responsibilities to the Vice-Presidents and to the Deputy Presidents, the latter being also responsible to him for the coordination of the activities of their respective World Councils.
From October 2005, the President of the FIA may not serve more than two consecutive terms of office, subject always to Article 12.1."
Article 12:
"If, in the course of his term of office, the President of the FIA is permanently prevented from fulfilling his duties, or if he resigns, the Senate shall convene an Extraordinary General Assembly for the election of the President alone, to be held no less than 2 months and no more than 4 months from the date of such prevention or resignation.
This Extraordinary General Assembly shall elect, for the remainder of that term of office, the President of the FIA from among the candidates that the FIA member clubs will propose to fill that position. This residual term of office shall not count as a term of office for the purposes of the last sentence of Article 19."

I think that in the case of F1 it's pretty vital he leaves as soon as possible.

His 'argument' of needing to stay due to "FIA-FOTA war" to settle things is hilarious!
But I do wonder, what will happen at FIA. If F1 collapses and the same happens to maybe some other FIA-series (like WTCC, if dissatisfied manufacturers decide to quit), then somehow Max has to be kicked out?! Or can he disappear only together with FIA and his series? The similarities between the actions of Hitler and Mosley are amazing... It seems Max would rather die together with F1 than give up.

Do Bernie and Max live forever? How old are they? I'm sure combined it must be over 200.
