The “sale” of March Cars back in the ’70’s that apparently made Mr Mosley rich bears looking at, to put it mildly.
Sex scandal, financial scandal…and look at the background of some of the other key F1 adminstrators.
It really is time that the business put its affairs in order.

Yes, let the police take action and use their full resources to get at the truth.
Perhaps they can charge the NOTW?

[...] Max Mosley finally responded to the News of the World’s allegations. And I have to say, if the allegations were not enough to make one think that Max Mosley can no [...]

Western democracies defend the right of privacy for everyone. The devil himself should have the right to maintain his private life private. I firmly believe in civil rights so for me Max is the only victim. Period. For me it’s the end of the story.

If he committed a crime(certainly not by spanish laws and probably not by the laws of many European countries, don’t know in UK) he should be judged in the courts not in the media, and only the police with the authorization of a judge could take the video.

About the whole Nazi issue. I believe it’s a excuse, because I can’t see svasticas or the like. May be the submission “stage” is a prisoner camp, but can’t see how this is necessarily related to Nazis.

Moreover, I don’t think true Nazis would feel proud of be part of a BDSM fantasy. If it’s true(and i doubt it) it’s hardly a tribute to Nazism.

Anyway, for me it doesn’t matter. If he in public condemns Nazism, and it his private life doesn’t harm anybody, nobody has the right to violate his privacy.

Samuel, privacy is one thing. Mocking Jewish victims of the holocaust is another.
So in your book it’s ok to do that as long as its not in the public domain?

I think the world is now seeing Mad Max’s true colours (although I and plenty others have been telling everyone this is what he really is like all along), and do we really want someone with that warped mind running F1?

In all of history guys should have known better…but somehow…quite a few don’t…

From Ministers of War down…

Can’t think why….

Everyone has a right to privacy, but that didn’t seem like the most private of situations to me.

Surely as a President of a really well respected and powerful organisation, he should know better?

Samuel – I dont think this justifies an evasion of privacy cry. Max was (allegedly)with five prostitutes which, I believe, is illegal. You may feel that crimes committed behind a close door (apparantly not his own) is ok but it is still a crime.

Personally, I have always liked Max and he has made me laugh with his self righteous judgements – particularly with his background.

Let’s face it the FIA could just ignore it…

Indeed it isn’t unlikely that even if they think he should go they wouldn’t do it straight away as they wouldn’t want to be seen bowing to the pressure of a British tabloid….or even to Rupert…who owns the NOTW and….The Times….who Max and the FIA are litigating against I recall…

Hmmm… slightly reminiscent of the fake Sheikh stories that were aimed at Sven and Sophie….
