That story has been the rounds, but don’t you think the teams, with their ultra sensitive acoustic measuring devices, would be straight onto something like that? It would have come out at the time

Rules brought in by Mosley some time ago limit the tenure of president to two terms. It would appear that he gave himself immunity in such matters.

Given the authority of the president as set up under MM, such limits are a paper exercise.

And guess who brought in the ‘complete cabinet’ requirement. As you say: appalling.

We should give Mosley his due and not slander him: I don’t think there has been any significant increase in corruption or dearth of new ideas in the FIA since taking complete and utter control.

Dot matter, private or not. He should just let them get on with it. Its not like his political party, maybe he thinks it is !!

I think Max has spolit his legacy of late. he could have been remembered for massive improvements in safety and dragging the FIA away from Balestre, now he is politcally damaged goods IMO

i think the threat, perhaps not the reality is there. can you shed any light on what martin vs max following brundles claim that the investigation into mclaren had the hallmarks of being a witch hunt. strong rumour has it that the FIA opposed his continuation in thet commentator role…

I don’t know how others feel, but to me this letter from Mosley reeks of desperation. Almost as if they can sense it’s slipping from their grasp.

Anyone care to agree or disagree?

Extremely weird modding of my post earlier. (I would have done it differently)

The more I read about what Mosley is saying-threatening, the more I realise that he is ranting, I am amazed that a doctor and a policeman have not been called to section him.

Now we read that any one who votes against his choice will be suffer afterwards. Has he been to Afghanistan recently? One might think that he himself, was trying to hang on to power. These goings on are worthy of a banana republic, and definitely not of the FIA. Mosely is bringing the FIA into disrepute.
His antics make the FOTA breakaway look like a church fete.
