While I suppose it’s NOT funny, for some strange reason I found Full Throttle’s; Springtime for Hitler post quite amusing over Sir Maxxum’s promiscuity…
Yet, obviously the Max Mosley sexcapade story isn’t diminishing as four of the major Automaker’s currently competing in Formula 1 have voiced their disapproval of Max Mosley’s behaviour, as first Mercedes Benz and BMW issued a joint statement admonishing the headmaster of their sport, publicly stating that his behaviour was disgraceful, while both Toyota and Honda quickly followed suit, with even sterner reprimands…
And this was before the ADAC; Germany’s motoring club strongly suggested Max seriously re-consider his position on the matter, as in perhaps you should step down from your post “Old Man.”
Although Jean Todt has been rumoured to be positioning himself for a run at MAD Max’s position in 2009, there’s now questions of how Todt’s friendship with Sir Maxxum will affect his candidacy? Although one would assume that with Todt’s longstanding relationship with ex-007 Bond girl-girlfriend Michele Woo, the Frenchman would be content…
And while very briefly in Washington DC, it was announced that New Your Governor Elliot Spitzer had decided to resign after being caught frolicking about with said women of the night… Although I was more impressed by his replacement; Lt. Governor David Paterson, who’s not only the first African American elevated to such a position, but the fact that he’s also the very first legally blind person to hold such a post!
Thus, I found it a bit surprising that the FOX owned SPEED Channel reporters seemed to shy away from the matter completely during Friday’s qualifying episode, especially after Bob Varsha revealed that the British tabloid; The News of the World, which had published the story with grainy video was also owned by SPEED’s parent company, F-O-X. Yet, at the 55 minutes to go mark the subject of Sir Maxxum was finally brought up when Peter Winsor asked the always insightful “Wee Scot,” better known as Sir Jackie (Stewart) for his thoughts on a subject he’d most likely not be asked about…
And I find it amazing how diplomatic Sir Jackie stays no matter how many times he’s been lambasted by MAD Max… Yet, never afraid to answer any question and just said it’s a very sad situation… Even if it is his private life and these allegations are found to be true, I think it’s sad an I think his position is untenable… Just look at what happened to the Governor of New York who decided his position was compromised, but I suppose it’s still early days yet?
Adding fuel to the fire was Sir Maxxums non-denial denial that he’d be staying in London this weekend to plan his upcoming holiday, Err, work on his legal defense when indeed the Crown Prince of Bahrain; Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Al-Khalifa had forbidden him entrance into his Kingdom.
Meanwhile other various International motoring clubs are voicing there disapproval in various ways over Mosley’s tawdriness, with some already stating that they’ll vote against Max in the upcoming special FIA meeting. Thus, it seems more and more unlikely that Max Mosley can continue on as the FIA president and should indeed resign his post…
