Surely this attack on Max is as a direct result of the legal cases being conducted against these media rags.

When did they ever print the truth about anything.

“we’re essentially unsuable because we don’t have any money”

on the internet we also have the ability to ‘disappear’ and popup somewhere else

There's a fascinating quote in The Times today that I saw over at F1Wolf. Here's what Bernie has to say today:

The trouble with Max is he’s been brave and there is bravado at the moment, but I don’t think it’s going to be easy. And 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.”

Clearly, what holds back the big sites is the fear of being sued. And it’s the advantage of small sites like mine – we’re essentially unsuable because we don’t have any money (well, I don’t, anyway). I’ve decided that sod it, if Jody Scheckter can say what he thinks, so can I – Max has to go, whether he likes it or not. Even Bernie has abandoned him, which says something about his guilt.

joe from grandprix.com has accreditation, certainly.

some of the writers for pitpass also have accreditation, but not sure how many.

Well that’s what I was wondering Keith. Like I said, I was under the impression that Pitpass, Grandprix.com and other internet-only websites like them couldn’t get accreditation. I think most of the news they get is from moles and suchlike. You just have to look at the websites to tell that. Half of Pitpass’s “news” items are press releases copied verbatim, while the other half is in the “psst, over here mate” vein.

That’s generous of you Clive but I was actually at Brands Hatch watching the touring cars! But I reckon when the news involves Max Mosley naked behind, ignorance really is bliss…

Although I did wait a while after reading the story before posting – you can’t be hasty with stuff like this.

Do Pitpass send accredited staff to Grands Prix? I never thought they did. What about Grandprix.com?
