Bad news for F1- Mosley may stay President beyond 2009
 

Max Mosley will decide in June whether to commit to the FIA presidency for another four-year term.

The 68-year-old Briton, earlier this year embroiled in a sex scandal but now hailed by some as the champion of a new sustainable formula one, said at the Motor Sport Business Forum in Monaco: “I don’t think I shall stand again, but we shall see.”

His current term runs out late in 2009.

Mosley had earlier ruled out remaining president into his 70s, but in the immediate aftermath of the sex scandal this year he admitted “pressure” to stay on.

“I am delaying a decision until June,” he said on Wednesday.

Thank Goodness!!! Max is feeling the "pressure" because some folks have been really naughty but max knows how to http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...ies/arrows.gif out of them

September 6th, 2000 - Max Mosley says that last week’s unsuccessful attempt by several Formula 1 team bosses to oust him as president of the FIA has convinced him to seek re-election when his current term of office ends in 2001..."“If people start saying ‘you have to go’, my immediate reaction is ‘I’ll have to stay’,” said Mosley. “It always has the opposite effect on me. So I will stand for re-election again next year – provided it’s quite clear that the majority of the clubs want me."

July 16th, 2004 - Max Mosley has decided to stay on as president of the FIA until at least the end of his elected term in 2005. Mosley, who announced on July 1 that he intended to resign his position at the end of October, a year early, has been convinced to stay on by the FIA Senate. In a statement released by the FIA, Mosley was ‘unanimously called on' to rescind his decision and was informed that his early departure would damage the interests of the FIA. Mosley claims that he received approaches from all sections of the FIA who went as far as to suggest that it would be irresponsible for him to step down this year. Mosley said that he felt bound to accede the senate's request.

So when people say he should go/resign he stays, and when they say he should stay he stays http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...s/laughing.gif

He's flip-flopped over this same "dilemma" in the same way every time his term is almost up, and the end result is always the same. He stays.

I'm speachless.... I didn't see this one coming

Flip-flopped? What is that?? Sounds pretty kinky to me..does the NOTW know about this??

I am glad he stays....he proves that truth is stranger than fiction

Nobody seriously expected Max to keep to his word did they.

Leopard.... Spots.

Max Mosley in changing his mind shocker! Next week's headline: Pope - "I believe in God".

Exactly.

Well, somebody has to whip the teams into shape. http://www.motorsportforums.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

*shakes fist* WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US BEFORE, POPE?

Bloody Mosley, how typical and predictable...

More like spank.....reminds me of a question from Rick in Casablanca

Well well, an't say that it's a huge surprise, but I'm disappointed.

He says if people ask him to go, it'll have the opposite effect. He doesn't neccessarily mean that philosophy works both ways.

Whilst I can see where you got your conclusions, I'm pretty sure if Mosley was asked question, he'd point out what I've just said.

http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...es/roflmao.gif So so so funny VB....and original!

Clearly http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...ies/tongue.gif

I do not see changing minds whereas the fact he stays regardless of what people say that he has to leave or stay, as flip flopper, that's a method to show that he has good enough bargaining power, a perfect competition...

What really!! booo

Well its not like I didn't say this was gonna happen months ago........This stinks.

He is passed his sell by date.

I'm afraid Max will continue in his current role until death... something what Bernie has already promised to do.

Would anyone who lives in a democratic nation put up with Max's comments from a senior politician? I hope not.
