The UAE motorsport governing body has expressed support for Mosely and called for him to remain as Fuhrer of FIA. This is a country that imposes fines for organisations and employees of organisations engaged in human trafficking. Fines for gods sake. The worry for me is that the money states and organisations may begin to trickle in support for Max as we get nearer to the hearing.
Write/email your local/national governing body expressing your views regarding Mosely, at least you'l have made some kind of stand. NZ has already stated it's opinion but I see the UK has decided on silence for now. Whats the Italian, American, South American stance?

Here is Montoya's stance.

Mosley was 'just having fun' – Montoya
Former Grand Prix winner Juan Pablo Montoya says he was 'so shocked,' by the Max Mosley umpalumpa scandal, but stops short of joining the widespread condemnation of the FIA President.

"I was so shocked by it, when they sent (the video) to me, I was like 'no way.' Now, I'm just like 'Hey, he's just an old guy trying to have some fun,'" the Colombian told the Associated Press.

The former race winner for McLaren and Williams, who switched to the NASCAR series a couple of years ago, is one of very few contemporary drivers who have commented openly on the affair.
Montoya, 32, gives a less solemn appraisal than some figures in recent days.
"I loved that. I did," he said, laughing, when asked about Mosley's reported romp with five prostitutes.
"It is a laughing matter! You know, when I first heard about it, it was shocking. But then he decided to play it like nothing has happened and it's just so hilarious."
Montoya did not want to say if he thought Mosley, 67, should resign.
"I do have an opinion on it, but I am not going to say it, and I am glad I am not there," he added.

Juan, my second least favorite driver of all time next to LH, does have a point. MM is just an old man having fun, and who can blame him. That being said, he can't very well hold a position where he passes judgement on whether or not others bring shame to the game...if he's a dirty, old, limp, nazi wanna be now can he? No sir, he can not. Let him retire and move in with a half dozen professional butt spankers and leave the FIA to those bright enough not to get video taped in their perversion.

Hey Max...you are done. Be man enough to realize it before you are voted out.

i agree with you on all points

its up to him if he wants kinky nazi style activities (nothing wrong with spanking lol!)

but with these desires/feelings etc he cant really be the top guy can he?
i wouldnt judge him on that, its personal, and hasnt really been obviously apparet,

what he should go for is poor decisions/rules and if this tape happens to be a facilitator of his demise as #1 then so be it!

Exactly, does he have the whips to stop seven other teams to not race, like in the US? Anything he says will be returned with Nazi and prostitute remarks by those who he displeases.

[Mikep99]

A spanking anyone.

To tell you the truth. I would not say no either

[darwin dali]

They look like trannies to me, especially the two on the left
Is that you Stephen?

The Italian stance will most likely be basced on the Ferrari stance given that as far as F1 is concerned, Ferrari is it for most Italians. If Ferrari suports Mosley which is highly probable then there is your answer. Regrding South America they will probably do what Italy does, well Argentina would most likely as the 2 a very similar culturealy and in their ways of thinking. Almost half the ancestory of Argentina is Italian, the almost other half Spanish, Spanish and Italian again very similar culture and way of thinking meaning Spain probably will support Mosley too if Ferrari does. America as in the USA i do not know though. Lets wait and see at this outcome anyway as nothing is certain that is for sure.

[phren]

Why do you think that Italy would support Mosely? What would be their reasoning?

[bud]

i thought America did condemn mosley and ask for his resignation, i know Canada did. Australia and lil brother NZ have!

[McLaren Fan]

The UAE are only one organisation. As for Montoya, he did little as a Formula One driver, so his say was always of limited value. In future, their views should be completely disregarded in motorsport on moral issues if they think it's acceptable to behave as Mosley has done. This isn't just a normal orgy - it is a Nazi-themed orgy, which is disrespectful to the memory of those who suffered under that organisation's reign of terror, their friends and family, and the millions who died in the Second World War who fought for freedom from this regime.

Britain's motor racing body MSA (Motor Sports Association) has refused to declare a clear stance on the Max Mosley umpalumpa scandal.

In a statement issued on Friday, the authority said it will not be following the lead of some other countries' sporting authorities in voicing an opinion prior to the FIA meeting on June 3.

"The issues over the presidency are matters that should, and will, be resolved by member clubs under the Statutes of the FIA," it read.

In future, their views should be completely disregarded in motorsport on moral issues if they think it's acceptable to behave as Mosley has done.

[McLaren Fan]

They haven't said they support him either. I suspect some people are keeping their cards close to their chest lest there be consequences. If a group says it thinks Mosley should stay they risk people frowning upon them, and if they say Mosley should go and he ends up staying, Mosley may launch a vindictive campaign against them.
