fanged_angel at 06:46pm on 03/06/2008 under f1-that's-not-f1I'm about as bored with the oh-my-god-Max-Mosley-is-a-sex-freak-eleven-eleven-eleven thing as I'm ever going to get.
I don't give a shit about Max Mosley's sex life.
I don't want to see images from that sex tape on the news while I have my lunch.
I don't care what sexual fantasies the man has and I'm not about to flail and say he's the next Hitler.
Dude, I'm as surprised as Gerhard Berger is that suddenly everyone in F1 is innocent and angelical...if Mosley's the first one to have ever had eeky kinks, then hell, that'd be quite a piece of news.
And the King of Spain not shaking his hand? The head of a country where sex life starts around 11 years old, mostly between underage girls and overage guys, a country where child pornography is at its peak and paedophiles have found their place in schools, working as teachers? Hokay, don't shake the pervert's hand, whatever ^^
I don't like Max Mosley more than the other person, and I haven't written about this issue til now, because I think it's such a pile of bullshit.But let's just lay low with all the awesome hypocrisy. I'd like to know how any other sex tapes involving anyone else that's famous look. Lovely, right?
Can we go back to the F1 now or must we just keep on going with another stupid scandal? Sex tapes should be locked away somewhere, because...ew. I have no interest in knowing anything about them.

Having said that, as the President of a global body, he should have resigned when the story broke. Regardless of the rights and wrongs (see above), not resigning has caused huge embarrassment, wasted FIA money, and given F1 vast column inches totally unrelated to the racing. How does that make F1 look to the outside world? How does that look to global corporations who might think twice about investing their money?
Or, another way of looking at it - if it had been Ron Dennis in that tape (and ew to that thought...), would he have been allowed near the paddock? I doubt it.

He's smug enough not to resign, especially not because of people "invading his privacy".
Urgh, Ron, ew. :S:S But you probably have a good point there.

His privacy was invaded, hence I don't really agree with what happened. But it *did* happen, and instead of doing the decent thing he was determined to make an issue of it. Part of that, I suspect, is related to that oh-so-massive chip he has on his shoulder about his father.
Yeah, I know, that's not a good mental image either - I don't want to think of Ron Dennis without clothes :s

He definitely has issues with the Nazi-dad thing, that's for sure, that's why he's publicising this as much as he is, I suppose. Eeky anyway. I seriously did not want to see that. He has hoards of enemies and they tried to get at him like this because they probably can't any other way *shrug*
I hope he will be replaced soon by someone that isn't Briatore :S:S
*scrubs brain* Nope, Ron without clothes is definitely something I never ever want to see.

1994 (Benetton fuel filter), 1999 (Ferrari endplate), 2002 (Ferrari taking the piss completely in Austria), 2005 (Indy).
Four examples off the top of my head of the kind of stupidity that makes me wonder sometimes why I bother following the sport. All these years and the FIA can't produce clear regulations on anything from F1 to karting - why not? The only explanation I can think of is that Max likes vague regulations that can be interpreted in all kinds of interesting ways. Lawyers think like that.
I actually wouldn't mind Flav, because he at least understands that F1 is a business. Better him than Jean bloody Todt :s

The thing that did bother me was the nazi part, especially considering his background. I know he claimed that it didn't have anything to do with nazis, but it was pretty obvious and I hate the idea of the holocaust being ridiculed in that manner. While that still doesn't concern his ability to do his job, it's definitely morally reprehensible and a disgrace.
Personally, I don't really care wether he resigns or not. I try not to get into F1 politics if possible... they make my head hurt ^^
