Mosley could (should) have saved some face and at least been humble enough to address the issue (stepping down and acknowledging a man in his position should have certain moral standards) before it went all over the place, to the point of receiving letters / statements of the kind he's getting.

This whole thing is quite unbelievable...

[Stephen]

have we heard anything from the French?

Well as we're on the subject of World Wars, the French have a history of letting others fight their own battles...!

have we heard anything from the French?

No, but Honda and Toyota have stepped up.

Okay, you'll owe me 5 bucks:

Embattled FIA President Max Mosley on Thursday called an 'Extraordinary General Assembly' of the governing body's senate.
The events since the British tabloid News of the World revealed his recent escapade with five prostitutes have left even the Briton's usual supporters wondering how he can continue to head the global motoring organisation.

A statement confirmed that the meeting, probably to take place in Paris, is to discuss ‘the widespread publicity following an apparently illegal invasion of the FIA president's privacy’.

All FIA members have been invited, and the FIA said the meeting will take place ‘on the earliest practicable date’.

‘No further comment will be made by the FIA regarding the matter at this stage,’ the statement said.

All it takes is Schumi to condemn him and it's over for him. He may be retired, but to many people who casually follow the sport or just read the results in the newspaper or whatever, Schumi is F1.

What about Lewis Hamilton... probs wnt say anything, but I wonder how he feels

He has now.

Lewis Hamilton has stressed the importance of Formula 1 figures 'setting the right example', in the wake of the tabloid allegations about FIA president Max Mosley.

Earlier today BMW, Mercedes, Toyota and Honda all issued statements criticising Mosley's behaviour, with Honda saying that public figures should "maintain the highest standards of conduct in order to fulfil their duties with integrity and respect."

In the pre-race press conference at Sakhir, Hamilton said he fully supported Honda's stance.

"I think it's key to set a good example," he said.

"We're all, especially the young people, always looking up to someone to show us the way and set a good example.

"I totally agree with what they were saying."

Fellow rising star Nico Rosberg agreed with Hamilton.

"If you're a figure like us who are racing drivers or something, you've got to try and set a good example in general, because a lot of people are watching you and also looking up to what you do," he said.

"I think it's important to also think about other people and young people or whatever.

"It's important to try and set a good example for people who are coming up."

Hamilton said his recent fine for speeding in France and his subsequent decision to attend a driver education course showed that he was trying his best to be a good role model.

"I said that I'm happy to do whatever I need to do to help and to show to them that I support the rules," he said.

"They haven't asked for me, pr requested for me to go back and do any specific course but I said that I've got massive support (for road safety initiatives).

"I think everyone makes mistakes.

"I'm young and this is part of my life that for me, in my position, and being a potential role model for lots of young kids, setting a good example is one of our top priorities, so that's something I'm going to continue to do."

So, now we wait, I suppose.

Google, French Military Victories....

I hope Ferrari come out and condemn Mosley or even Schumi as somebody mentioned earlier. The sooner Max goes, the better.

The question no one is asking is "why 5 prostitutes"??, I think 4 is not enought but six is over the top so he settled on 5 prostitutes. Plus you need 5 + Mosley to play "Nazi Camp" 2 guards, 1 SS (Mosley) and 2 prisoners, I think that's where the magic number 5 is, 4 wouldn't work because no enough prisoners and 6 is overblown.

I don't think in the video there was any mention of blowing, be it over or otherwise

Ferrari may be sitting on the fence and if so I'm sure they have their reason's so let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill until everyone has spoken. No matter what anyone's PERSONAL dislike's are pertaining to Ferrari it can be said that no other team play's the media game as well as they do.

I dont wanna see this thread go OT as so many other's have and turn into a Ferrari/McLaren battle. Let's keep the focus on kicking MM's arse out of the FIA.

[darwin dali]

kicking MM's arse

Yeah, this was in the video

Good on Lewis and and Nico for straight-talking rather than playing politics and dodging the issue.
