To be fair, the hookers looked to have the upper hand.

Yes, and they were obviously angry with him about the use of turbos in the FIA's new regulations for the Super 2000 world rally cars.

I think the truth of these things is that newspapers tend to print enough which is true to make legal action unlikely, rather than every aspect of the story actually being 100 per cent accurate.

Thats true, but I clearly don't have quite the same level of interest in the small details of what happened as you do

[BuyCheapest]

To be fair, the hookers looked to have the upper hand. I laughed.

But to be honest, I doubt any of the girls really enjoy getting it on with a 67 year old man. Besides, individual prostitutes are not the problem but all the other things that go on in the "business".

Mosley was a respected individual who was supposed to set some standards to his followers and had responsibilites as a public figure. Oh well, he doesn't have to worry about that for too long.

To be fair none of whats in the NOTW article affects his ability to perform as FIA president, although if I was Spanish I might be more than a bit miffed about being lectured on stamping racism out by someone who supposedly enjoys acting out Nazi concentration camp scenes.

How do you mean? What power does Bernie Ecclestone have over Max Mosely in this context?

Excuse my ignorance.. but doesnt Bernie have a major say in whether Max stays or goes?

You know what happened, he sued the Sunday Times for slander over Brundle's articles.

The Sunday Times reacted by letting Brundle carry on as before and published a few extra articles written by other journos too with headlines like "Time for Max to resign" which showed that Murdoch wasn't going to back down.

If you look at the NOTW article which is clearly a sting the timing suggests it was done in reaction to the slander action. Several months of following Max around over the winter to find out anything that could be used against him and setting up a sting to get a good set of photos of him 'in action'.

To those suggesting that the NOTW isn't a reliable source, usually I'd agree. However given the nature of the material the NOTW would not be publishing it unless they were 100% certain they would be clear in a court of law. The damages from losing such a case would be unbelievably high given the personal attack on Mosley's public persona.

The Bild has also taken up the story now. Whilst they're also gutter press they clearly see that the story is solid enough to run with to risk being sued for.

Ah, I see, Thanx, I remember it vaguely, hadnt really followed the story.
He was quite probably partially set-up with regards to the Nazi connection too.
Im not particularly a fan of Max, always thought he was a bit wired, this story might add a bit of credance to that opinion but I must admit to feeling sympathy for him. Sordid or not, I think that this type of journalism is far worse than whatever a persons sexual needs might be. Unfortunately muck sticks..

To be fair none of whats in the NOTW article affects his ability to perform as FIA president, Some people might question his ability to exercise discretion and judgment in his "day to day affairs".

Media has the responsibility to report this sort of material when someone provides it. Transparency is important when we talk about individuals who are in important positions like Mosley.

[BuyCheapest]

Anyway, Jean Todt is a perfect candidate for the job.

[8jIDXQ80]

Some people might question his ability to exercise discretion and judgment in his "day to day affairs".

I don't think he exercises suitable discretion and judgment anyway, without this.

This really isn't the problem in these instances, either. Much worse is the question of whether the person involved remains credible. Does the FIA want someone at its helm who has become an object of ridicule in this way?

[Belindanan]

You are right Icke. If the girls felt that Mosley exploited them, and not the other way around, then Mosley should definately have his punishment. Which, BTW, he maybe will like
But we do not know the girls, we can only guess. And since he probably will get **** for this anyway, we might just aswell play it soft; as it appears, as I mentioned, he doesn´t seem to have done anything illegal.
People have dark sides. Everyone. it is just that we normally do not se them, and manage to keep our own nasty details for ourselves. it is surprising though that Mosley took this risk. It is maybe a part of the thrill.

Very wise words.

[jojocomok]

If this incident gets Max abdicated from his throne, then so be it!

FIA needs a better leader at the helm.

[+++Poguru+++]

Hhmmm.... Wonder if it's fair to say...

Behavior like this brings the Sport into...

DISREPUT !!!

A fine of $ 100 milliion or so... seems about right.



In other words,

Good Ole Mad Max was caught being...

A CERTIFIED HALF-WIT !!!





Trumper

[gkruCRi1]

At least it sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves.

By the look of it, looks like max is gonna be getting the same treatment today from his missus!

[ptolerezort]

Thread reopened but please no video-link and let's discuss the future of FIA presidency only...thank you

[BuyCheapest]

Assuming Mosley gets the boot, it would be very nice to see Jean Todt in charge. He is not a politician but a pure sportsman who commands respect and knows what's best for F1 instead of just the businessmen.

[MaraReenece]

So what?
First this is a trash rag and much like national enquirer, trash is trash
Second, not anyone's business
what one does in private should stay there

[Gozmand]

Anyway, Jean Todt is a perfect candidate for the job.

Yeah, I cant think of anyone more suitable..

[BuyCheapest]

what one does in private should stay there The fabric of society is very complicated. For some reason the public expects that certain people, like Queen Elizabeth, acts differently in her personal life when compared to your average hobo. It's all very superficial of course.

I agree to an extent.. but lets not bury our heads in the sand, its not private any longer thanks to this gutterpress trashrag.
Broadly speaking.. what Max did is irrelevant but the fact that this has come out, has damaged his credability which affects the FIA, F1 etc and so makes it a valid topic for discussion.

[cewIdeatovace]

Just like everyone else in a free society Max has the right to flip his pancake in any fashion he sees fit.
As long as he doesn't infringe on someone elses right to flip theirs
Puritanism can be, and in the past has been, a very ugly entity!
