Once bitten, twice shy....

Post

This is a phrase FOTA should have borne in mind when negotiating with Mosley.


A leopard doesn't change its spots, right now I'm fully expecting Mosley to be FIA president next year, and for us to go through the same rules farce next season.


Same as last year, and the year before, and the year before.

"I do genuinely want to stop. But if there is going to be a big conflict with the car industry, for example, with the FOTA teams, then I won't stop. I will do whatever I have to do. It's not in my nature to walk away from a fight."
Even I know when a fight has been lost and it is time to walk away. Sometimes that is before the fight even starts.
"I don't really expect Luca will apologise or withdraw in the way that he should. Yet, on the other hand, within the motor sport world nobody takes him seriously. He's seen as what the Italians call a "bella figura". He's chairman of Fiat but the serious individual who runs it is Sergio Marchionne, and I don't suppose he takes much notice of Luca."
And this kind of blather is another reason he needs to go. When all the kids are squabbling, you need to stand up and take the high road. This guy is insane.

He wants to fight before negotiate, and has something to prove at our expense.

Well, not until you become a FIA member and vote for a good representative for your country can you say you're doing something about Mosley. Please, stop talking and do the walking. ;)

Bump.


Negotiate with a weasel... and you can expect the f**ker to change tune sharpish.



FOTA should have pulled the trigger. Cowards.

As a AAA member I will mail a letter to my local representative and the main office to ask for the AAA to stop supporting Max Mosley.

Capital idea! I'm a CAA member, and will be emailing the Canadian president to that effect, as well.

Edit: I've emailed the CAA President, who apparently was anti-Mosley through the spankgate saga...

I recommend everyone who wishes to actively participate in this issue do something similar.
