During the Extraordinary General Assembly (EGA) held in Paris today, the FIA Member Clubs voted on a motion of confidence in the FIA President. Max Mosley won the majority of support for him to continue in his role.
That would be a nice conclusion if there was anything wrong about having sex parties for 5 hours with 5 hookers. As reports go, he paid £25,000 for that, so he didn't exactly steal anything...donskar wrote:2) Mosley's indiscretion is now public knowledge. For example, it was mentioned yesterday on a USA sports talk show broadcast nationwide - a show that gives auto racing AT MOST 5% of its time.
3) How can any of you think those same corporations would NOT want to FLEE from any association with F1 and Max? (Rightly or wrongly, in the public domain the two are inextricably linked.
Like I said before, it could be Jean Todt.. He's available..Principessa wrote:If Mosley resigns or gets fired (what I expect can happen every day now), who is up for the position of FIA President?
If theres nothing wrong, why is he apologising? Put it in context (ie of Max/FIA and their image).That would be a nice conclusion if there was anything wrong about having sex parties for 5 hours with 5 hookers. As reports go, he paid £25,000 for that, so he didn't exactly steal anything...
A driver can get away with this but Max is not a driver, he is the President of the FIA.As motor racing values go, "virility" and "daring" aren't exactly concepts foreign to the ones usually promoted - even drivers are usually apreciated as sexual daredevils. OK, they are hookers - but they didn't seem that shabby to me...
I think he should be replaced by three. That way we would avoid the unilateral decision making abuses seen in the past.Principessa wrote:If Mosley resigns or gets fired (what I expect can happen every day now), who is up for the position of FIA President?

03.04.2008
The President of the FIA has requested the President of the FIA Senate to call an Extraordinary General Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the FIA statutes.
The full membership of the FIA will be invited to attend the meeting at which the widespread publicity following an apparently illegal invasion of the FIA President’s privacy will be discussed.
The FIA has noted that Mr Mosley is preparing legal proceedings against the newspaper in question.
It is anticipated that the meeting will take place in Paris. It will be held on the earliest practicable date. No further comment will be made by the FIA regarding the matter at this stage.
No more europeans heading the FIA! Globalization! Revolution! Neutrality! Some other guy different from the old guard! Less perverts in charge and more Peace Corps presidents! More exclamation signs!!!!!! More signs!!!!! I really love exclamation signs!!!! 
So this guy knows how to spy, doesn´t he? Maybe we wont see another spygate with him...The Peace Corps Act declares the purpose of the Peace Corps to be:
“to promote world peace and friendship through a Peace Corps, which shall make available to interested countries and areas men and women of the United States qualified for service abroad and willing to serve, under conditions of hardship if necessary, to help the peoples of such countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained manpower.”
+
The program officially has three goals:
To help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers
To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served
To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans

If those who "set him up" are as organized as they appear, if they are "funded by clients unknown", then we can expect very detailed footage from a room filled with secret cameras and microphones. We can expect the heat to be incrementally turned up until Max cries "enough". His absence from Bahrain is just the beginning. Certainly he won't be able to go to Germany. I expect him to resign as soon as the heat is turned up by corporate big wigs. BMW and Mercedes will agitate for him removal in a discrete way. It is politically unpalatable to defend Max's dungeon antics since he is the son of a famous Nazi sympathizer (whether or not the S&M had Nazi overtones).
Herein is righteous indignation. In the end Max is only getting what is coming to him. Even Bernie has hung him out to dry saying:superstring wrote:Max Mosley is a mean-spirited sanctimonious prick who delights in lording it over others. It's a shame that so few in the motorsports community have had the balls to stand up to him. I'd rather he were removed based on his policies, but if this is what it takes to get rid of him, so be it.
Oh to be a fly on the wall of Ron Dennis' office, of Eduard Michelin's office, of Paul Stoddardt's office, of Jackie Stewart's offce, of Tony George's office and of all the countless people that Max has screwed! I have in mind the jubilant image of Ron Dennis on the Melbourne pit wall when Heikki overtook Alonso.Ecclestone declared to the British newspaper 'The Times': "If he starts to sue, from what I understand, the chances of him winning would be slim and, the trouble is, it's just a lot more ink for the press.
"If Max was in bed with two hookers, they'd say 'good for you' or something like that, but this, as it is, people find it repulsive. I think that's the problem."
The trio doesn't sound legally possible at the moment, does it? However I think EJ is way too funky for the jobTed68 wrote:I think he should be replaced by three. That way we would avoid the unilateral decision making abuses seen in the past.
Eddie Jordan, Gordon Murray and Jackie Stewart sound good? That way on this tri-lateral commision we would have an owner/manager, a designer and a driver and equally weigh in on the sports decision making.
What abou Tony Purnell? He seemed like a very-very smart and progressive guy.
