FIA president Max Mosley says he is still unsure whether he will run for a fifth term as head of the motorsport body.

Mosley first took the helm of the FIA in 1991 and his current tearm will expire in 2009.

The Briton says, however, that he could stay on if he is asked to.

"I don't know. When people ask you to stay, you need to keep that in mind," Mosley told Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview.

Mosley also admitted he would like to see Formula One where drivers swap teams from race to race in the future.

"My dream is for a Formula One where the drivers swap cars from one race to the other, to see who really is the strongest."

It's a scandal that the two-term limit passed in October 2005 was not made retrospective. As for that idea mentioned in the article, it's as bad, if not worse, than what he has planned for Formula One at the minute.

Bring back Balestre, all he did was "allegedly fix the 1989 Championship in Prost's favour".

The world championship in horse jumping used to (dunno whether they still do) have the 4 finalists swap horses - that was highly entertaining and interesting to watch with the different characters of riders and horses and how they got along (or not).

For F1, I can't fathom how they'd implement such a procedure. Would the teams swap as well? Because if not, how could it be that some car's team wouldn't sabotage the non-team driver? And if they swap teams, that would open the floodgates of espionage, obviously...

swapping drivers would break up the whole makeup of driver/engineering relationship and being able to bring the most out of a car during a season. it would ruin sponsorship where some companies only sponsor a team due to the driver.

Stupid idea Max

He CANT stay any longer surely!!! I know its bad to wish evil things and mishaps on people but that man makes me want to be BAD

The only good thing about Max Mosely is that he favours Ferrari. Everything else about him is crap so I guess there is more bad to him than good meaning he should go. Therefore I have a proposal. Let us replace Max Moseley with Jean Todt. I think that he would serve wonders for the great sport of Fer *Caugh* *Caugh* F1.

That isn't a good thing. What good would the sport be if Ferrari couldn't lose because they had help from the FIA...?

Actually, forget I asked it. The answer won't make me any happier. :/

JEAN TODT!!!!! AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Apart form his evil coniving ways he's such an ugly sod! Dont want to have to keep looking at him again

[8-ball]

i sometimes wonder if max wakes up each morning thinking what controversy he can stir up today. This idea of swapping drivers between teams is pure stupidity!

[VitorB]

Even if he leaves, it won't change too much i think... he's just a face, there's a whole structure behind that will just pick up another 'new' face without bringing anything new.

Bernie, Mosley & Co will keep running F1 as they wish for many years to come.

[Jensonb]

Kill me now.


Why can't they just Put Stoddart in there?

Still want that anti-Mosley banner for Silverstone?

[onelapdown]

There's only one way to solve this - everyone put in a tenner and we'll probably have enough to employ a hitman...
