Re: Mosley threatens u-turn

I think the following expresses my feelings on the matter:
F1: Who Exactly Wants Mosley To Stay At FIA ?

Max Mosley insists he is not only personally aggrieved, but that he is also "under pressure" to retain his role at the top of F1's governing body the FIA.

After committing only last Wednesday to stepping down, however, it is an unhappy prospect for the rebel FOTA teams, but the 69-year-old Briton has no sympathy following their reaction to the Paris peace deal.

"It's no good the teams getting a PR agency to claim I am dead and buried when I am standing here as large as life," he said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

Mosley said the teams' reaction is a threat to the authority of the federation and claims he is therefore "under pressure now from all over the world to stand for re-election".

He said the media briefings given by FOTA after the deal contained "complete lies". "That was obviously very annoying and not just for me. It has given the impression to the member clubs of the FIA that the car industry had dictated who the president could be and what the president should do. That caused uproar," Mosley explained.

He denies the events after Wednesday have simply given him an excuse to prolong his controversial FIA reign.

"I do genuinely want to stop," Mosley insisted. "But if there is going to be a big conflict with the car industry ... I will do whatever I have to do. It's not in my nature to walk away from a fight," he insisted.

Interestingly, Mosley also revealed that the peace deal was only going to be set in stone if FOTA "could strike an agreement with the Williams and Force India teams ... and the three new teams".



PaddockTalk Perspective

We believe its time for this supposed backers to step forward.

Their names need to be made public and their motives must be fully examined in the press.

And if that scares the hell out of them, then ask yourself....

Why ?

Don't the fans of F1 deserve better than this?

I've seen many TV shows cancelled which had more substance than this F1/FOTA/FIA crap.

At one time it was interesting. Then it became just mildly entertaining. Not it's downright insulting. The whole bunch should be arrested and charged with impersonating leaders.
