If mad Max had been kicked out of the FIA last year after the Nazi stuff all this wouldn't have happened and now it looks like it could go the way of the IRL in the states that split into 2 and has never recovered from it even though it is back to 1 series.

His private life is nothing to do with his ability to run F1. What he does in his private life is nothing to do with F1.

Surely the FIA realise that F1 wouldn't be the same without the big teams?

Personally, I see the only solution is for Mosley and co. to drop the proposed budget cap. I see no reason for it for its introduction anyway.

That current McLaren is shocking and its obvious now he's looking towards next season (if there is a next season)......
Shame for the Champ but he'll really appreciate a good car the next time he gets one!

Grid and weights Hamilton did not even have much fuel on board. Decent showing by both Williams for a change. Ferrari pretty duff again.

I never said it had anything to do with his ability to run the FIA but the teams have wanted him out for a long while and they could have used it as an excuse and taken a stand to get rid.

But you did mention that if he'd been kicked out after the Nazi stuff.....

Moseley was supposed to have gone a while back I believe but is sticking around but he'll not be around for ever just like Bernie Ecclestone.

This news is very unsavoury and reminds of a stink kicked up from the 1982 San Marino GP and to quote James Hunt from the BBC's coverage of that race (see youtube F1 politics explained) "this could be the last nail of a coffin which has quite a lot in already."

All this caused because Ferrari (quel surpris) have had a bad season, has not taken a rule change too lightly and rounded everyone else up and we have the very serious threat of no championship next year.

On the other hand, Mosely and his lap dog Ecclestone are getting what's been coming to them for years because of their constant meddling, very unfair on the teams, the drivers and the millions of fans.

So to sumerraise:

MOSELY - YOU ARE A DISASTER!
ECCLETSONE - YOU ARE A EVEN WORSE!
AS FOR FERRARI AND CO - I'M OUT OF SPEECH WITH THEM!
