subiedude 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Why do journalists still talk to Mosley? He acts like a total whacko and says so many stupid things, just like he was still in charge of FIA. He actually believes he will be put back in his old position. Just like a politician, they never know when it is time to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Funnily enough, Max was on a politics show here last night ("This Week" - probably on iPlayer). He was talking about the Iraq Wikileaks and how they relate to privacy, the public interest and keeping politicians accountable. He argued it was good that modern technology makes it harder for governments to keep things secret because in the end governments will respond by being more open. Watching it was very interesting. He's softly spoken but his arguments are incisive - it just reinforced my view that he didn't get where he got by accident (and I don't mean on the front page of the News of the World).

Eric 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 WAAAAAH MAX IS AN IDIOT WITH NO IDEA OF WHAT THE "PINNACLE OF MOTORSPORT" REALLY IS AND BERNIE IS SENILE. Let Max do what he wants with his career. Agree or disagree with his direction, he's allowed to have a direction (I feel like Todt doesn't have one) and push for it if he think it's time to bring it back. I don't agree fully with what Max tried to do, but there are a lot of aspects to his plans that were fine. Spec engines, for example, aren't what I'd do, but his push to make the races entertaining need not be ignored. Just because 2k people on an Internet forum who are loyally passionate about F1 think the racing is fine and wonderful in its many complexities doesn't mean enough people in the rest of the world will. Casual fans drive the sport industry; the casual fans of the next generation have less of an attention span, more alternatives (even I'm going to watch free highlights on my mobile over the entire race on TV when I have the chance), and no real connection to automotive culture. You're going to put out a product that takes a lot of effort to appreciate and expect to keep your ratings ten years down the road? Kidding yourself. Then again, the FIA presidency pertains to F1 like the U.S. presidency pertains to the U.S.; it's a very over-glorified role with little impact on day-to-day affairs, so I don't give much of a poo about who holds the role.

mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Tis what Sir Jackie still does to get recognised, EJ has a show in which to argue & say radical thing as if he were still in F1. Every old celeb does it, Terry Wogan still rants on about the Eurovision & there's even a show for old men & women to moan about things. Max should be on Grumpy Old Men, him & Jezza would be unstoppable, maybe in a few years add EJ & Jackie to the roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHS 1 Report post Posted October 30, 2010 Ah I gets it ! Keep up! What made me lauhgh recently rgarding Max Mosley though was that he appeared on Question Time and the News of the World phone tapping incident was discussed. He said that the former editor Andy Coulson, who resigned over that incident and is now a Government aide isn't a suitable person for that position. Got a grudge, Max?

Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 He's a smart guy but his approach to the role really let him down, Todt is better in that respect so far (although his real test will be the upcoming negotiations..). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dribbler 6 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Everyone knows that a Subaru is a 'Scooby', not a 'Subie'. Scoobydude sounds much better. Max is a clever man who got caught something he was never going to live down. No way back, unfortunately. Still, he did a lot and for a long time, so if he wants to give his opinion, I for one, don't mind atall. Dismissing his presence as either a sign of madness or a desire to massage an ego is to truly have no understanding of what he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2010 I've heard "Lesbaru" much more often than "Subie" or "Scooby." Something about women with mullets who live with other women with mullets in log cabins in Maine and the Subaru Outback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
