You seem to be correct. Here's his quoteMichiba wrote:Perhaps the teams overlooked a loophole that allows him to stay 'a la' the DDD, ie. he's going against the 'spirit' of the new agreement but he's not technically breaking any promises.
"Formula 1 is run entirely by our 25-strong team without any help from me or any other outsider. There was no need for me to involve myself further in Formula 1 once we had a settlement. Equally, I had a long-standing plan not to seek re-election in October. It was therefore possible for me to confirm both points to you yesterday."
Strange thing is that I can't find anything Mosley claims was said in direct quotes from FOTA members except that he would stand down in October, but he said that himself too.johnny99 wrote:Why didn't Luca just shut up and wait until the next election. Not very diplomatic,

Did I misinterpret this, and is that why no one has pounced on this yet... When did Kimi get contracted to Red BullISLAMATRON wrote:Honda and Toyota have spent alot of money yes, but in an attempt to catch up to investments already made by big timers McLaren & Ferrari.
The continuous rules changes did not come from Max, it came from the teams... V8's, OWG, refuel ban, increased weight, 90% of rules changes over these years have come from the teams, and if they werent then Why didnt Ferrari depose them with their almighty VETO?
Red Bull is spending 200 mil euros this year, and that is without paying KIMI $50 plus mil, does that seem like a small amount? by comparison STR is spending about half that.
jamsbong, your posts are very much uninformed, I would suggest getting your F1 news from several sources rather then just the Ferrari or FOTA websites, or whatever biased, incomplete source from which you derive your info.
If KERS is allowed to remain, you will see alot more tems using it next year because of the resizing of the front tires(smaller) shifting the desired weight balance rearward... it will be even moreso a factor if the proposed weight increase (620kg) goes thru.
82 hp, 25 kg KERS is no more waste of money than $2000 one time use wheel nuts, or hours of CFD & wind tunnel time developing a minute winglet to hold a mirror.

MY wife is a psychologist. I asked her last night to go over this thread. Her professional opinion is pretty darn good, and she said two things. Bad behavior, and attention-seeking. After awhile people learn to tune out this kind of distraction, and that life is better if they ignore such a negative thing. Besides, my uncle once said to me "don't get into a pissing contest with a skunk."megz wrote:Did I misinterpret this, and is that why no one has pounced on this yet...

snowmansion wrote:MM is very angry @ luca di Montezemolo.According to formule1.nl he wrote a letter to mister Montezemolo where he demands an public excuse for his statements that he made. He is even reconsidering to be re-elected.
Luca said that from now on MM would not be in active duty anymore and will be replaced by Michel Boeri. That was bull according to MM.
Luca said MM behaved like a dictator which is a rude insult to MM and to all the members of the FIA who voted on him and his plans.
I don't think so. Montezemolo was sitting at the WMSC as representative of the F1Comission which is traditionally represented by Ferrari being the most senior team. Jean Todt used to have that seat. The FIA senat members are entirely FIA functionaires IMO.gcdugas wrote: Luca also sits on the FIA senate .......
I hope it stays that way and that we will see better relationships develop in the future.The Chairman and FOTA also thanked the FIA President: “Mosley was very clear and honest. He said that he had thought about leaving already some time ago and that his staff knew about it. Therefore I have to say, in a moment when Mosley is leaving, that I have to thank him, beyond the points of controversy we had, because he has been working very well, especially as far as safety is concerned.”
