I'll explain why I do the FIAt thing, but only once (as if anyone here cares).
It's simply a device to highlight the fact that Ecclestone, Mosely and the FIA, and of course (well why would they not, any advantage should be taken) Ferrari have a vested interest in promoting, and over the recent past maintaining, Ferrari dominance BY WHATEVER MEANS POSSIBLE.
I believe (and of course its only my belief) that this is detremental to the SPORT of top flight motor racing while conversly being hugely profitable for those vested interests. I don't conform to the view that "Whats good for Ferrari is good for F1", the trickle down effect is a dubious concept and certainly benifited Minardi, Stewart, Jordon, Prost, Midland etc etc very little.
So, as its too much hassle to write Ecclestone/Mosely/FIA/Ferrari, I just write FIAt.
I am as much in awe of Ferrari (both Enzo and post Enzo) as any real race fan but FIAt can kiss my ar##.
As far as I'm concerned until Max goes and the FIA cleans it's act up, until Bernie stops pulling the strings behind the scenes and until Ferrari have the balls to admit the collusion, it's a FIAt.

Nice clarification for those who wanted to know mate .

I know. It's brilliant to hear somebody tell it like it is. Too much in Formula One goes unnoticed or unmentioned to suit various people and organisation's political agenda.

It's also worth mentioning Mosley's Nazi attempts at controlling the press have failed:

From autosport.com:

High Court refuses Mosley video injunction

By Steven English Wednesday, April 9th 2008, 11:03 GMT

Max Mosley, FIA presidentThe High Court today refused an injunction to have the video that launched the scandal surrounding FIA president Max Mosley removed from the News of the World's website.

The judge, Mr Justice Eady, refused to grant the injunction, saying that content of the video was now so widely familiar that Mosley could no longer reasonably expect to keep it out of the public domain.

The BBC today reported the judge as saying: "I have, with some reluctance, come to the conclusion that although this material is intrusive and demeaning, and despite the fact that there is no legitimate public interest in its further publication, the granting of an order against this respondent at the present juncture would merely be a futile gesture. The dam has effectively burst."

The News of the World's legal manager Tom Crone issued the following statement: "Max Mosley's attempt to suppress the News of the World's video of his sordid activities has failed. The film is now back on the website."

Mosley has faced calls to resign from his position in the FIA from several key Formula One figures and manufacturers, but insists that his actions were harmless and legal and has vowed to remain in his role.

His legal team are also taking action against the newspaper for breach of privacy and are reported to be seeking "unlimited damages."

His claim is expected to be heard in July.

BBC are now reporting that Max's future will be decided on June 3rd by secret ballot. The fact that it is secret should be incentive to the members to vote against him
