Max keep's saying "I did nothing wrong and it's a private matter" so why then is he so worried about the video being made public once again? Also Max is a british citizen right so why is he so worried about the french internet, they will most likely love it and support him !

He lives in Monte Carlo.

Is he considered a citizen of France?

Now Porche and VW are saying that the Mosely/nazi episode will keep them away from F1. For gods sake Mosely, Piss Right Off. And take your supporters with you.

to be honest VW and porche were always against entering F1 because to them they cannot justify the costs. But this episode has probably strengthened their case not to enter

Porsche: scandal makes F1 unattractive

Friday, April 18th 2008, 13:36 GMT

Car makers Porsche and Volkswagen have ruled out entering Formula One, saying high costs and a umpalumpa scandal involving motorsport chief Max Mosley made the sport unattractive to them.

"300 million euros a year - that is just burning money," Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piech told German news magazine Stern on Friday.

"And after the affair with Max Mosley and the women it would not be very savoury to get involved (in Formula One) now," added his Porsche counterpart Wolfgang Porsche.

Porsche are in the process of acquiring a majority shareholding in Volkswagen and both German companies have been seen as potential Formula One entrants in the past.

Photographs and a video of Mosley involved in what British Sunday newspaper News of the World described as a Nazi-style orgy with prostitutes have led to strong criticism of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) boss, particularly in Germany.

German Formula One car makers BMW and Mercedes, which owns 40 percent of McLaren, issued a joint statement this month questioning the 68-year-old Englishman's future at the helm of the sport's governing body.

Mosley has denied any Nazi connotations and is claiming unlimited damages against the News of the World. He has resisted calls to resign.

The Briton has also filed legal action in Paris to prevent the News of the World video being accessed from France via the Internet.

Judicial sources said on Friday that a ruling was expected on April 29 after the French judge considered the request.

do VW and Porsche race in any FIA category though?

thats the only thing about this incident is that F1 is painted by Max's ways when its not only F1 that he represents!

and after all this, Ferrari still haven't said anything bad about Mosley. So this means if they indeed do support Mosley, then so should I. If they end up eventually condeming Mosley then I'll also change my mind. In other words whatever Ferrari thinks on this matter is best. What Ferrari thinks and does is always best for F1.

Wow, really? Porsche buying VW? I always thought VW is way bigger than Porsche - are they in financial troubles?

They supplied engines for McLaren in the mid-1980s under the TAG name. Pretty good engines they were too. Not as good at the Honda kit a few years, however.
