Mosley relies on the Senate

The FIA senate is to meet on 3rd June for a secret vote on whether to retain Mosley as FIA president or not.

Is it just me that thinks that Mosley's tactics are ridiculous obvious?

I have no idea who makes up the FIA senate but I'm pretty sure a good majority of them are Mosley supporters. It seems to me that he's hoping that the storm will die down in the time it takes for the vote to come around (almost 2 months!) and then hopes that enough of his cronies will vote to retain him. At which point he will emerge victorious, claiming to have the support of the entire motorsport world and get back to business as if nothing had happened.

Will it work? I hope not - the key thing is that the pressure must be kept on him and therefore we need more people to come out calling for his resignation. Sadly if Mosley does retain his seat then he'll be sure to seek revenge (look out Honda, Toyota, BMW and Mercedes) and I think that's why many people are keeping quiet.

Mosley Must Go

Now he must go.

I've never been a huge fan of the man and his treatment of McLaren, Brundle and Jackie Stewart especially had me desperate to go. But the exposé of his S&M session with prostitutes surely must force him to go.

I feel sorry for him getting caught out by a rag of a newspaper and in another world his personal life wouldn't affect his professional life, but he cannot possibly remain in the post now. Who would take him seriously? From now on, every comment he makes to the press about any subject will always be associated with his preferences in his personal life. He can comment about the behaviour of drivers and teams but all people will think about is his preference for getting whipped by Nazis.

Max, go now, while you have a tiny bit of dignity left. You got caught doing something that you knew would finish your career so accept it and move on.
