Explaining that in one post would be like learning CFD in one day - impossible (but I'll give it a try) :lol:

Dictatorship attitude followed by suspicious politics and scandals. Frequent changes of regulations that fail one after another with no consequences at all for their creator. Ignoring safety for the sake of profit. Guiding F1 towards boring cup kind of series trough killing of small teams, abandoning famous circuits and banning technology.

When you combine the way Mosley runs FIA with his family background than you get Ein chassis, ein engine, ein tyre type of jokes as obvious and natural response. No one blames him for what his parents were but he runs FIA like true fascist so people connect such attitude with his family background. I'm the first one who protests when someone automatically equalizes children with their parents but Mosley really didn't deserve any better.

Max's family origins aside .. The above should fill you in on his background..

Max is due to retire in Oct 09, and last year the rumour was that, Jean Todt was being groomed as a replacement to Max. But of course when the now in-famous rascasse gate incident struck, the furore that went through the paddock.. forced him to reconsider the decision...

Bearing in mind... Flavio's contract is set to expire in 08 with Renault F1... Could we see someone else on the move??? Flavio for FIA president? \:D/

Please not Flavio. His too business oriented for the job.
His made it clear he wants some mumbo jumbo 2 races per GP, with reverse grids. and no more 2pm races "because it --- your sunday, you can't go to the beach and have lunch" what a --- joke ROFL.

I'd have Tony Purnell, he is the right blend of Flavio's creativity and Ron's leadership.

Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

yeah, but the 12 laps 1 hour system had class, it had excitement and it had the fastest guy at the front. Not the fastest guy over a lap, or the fastest guy to use up his fuel load the best. The old system had lap times tumbling every lap as the track got faster and there were times when within 5 secs the provisional pole man would change 7 times. You just don't see that anymore. Perhaps the FIA should run an unlimited amout of laps in 1 hour, then people would go out earlier because they weren't using up their preciouse laps anymore and we'd still see the final bomb to the finish with 3secs of qualifying left.

To be fair, I don't like Max Mosley, but would Jean-Marie Balestre have been able to deal with the deathh of Ayrton Senna and the subsequent changes required in the calm methodical way required?

I still think that Dave Richards would have been a natural succesor.
