I'd agree with you that his sex life is his own business, that side of it doesn't bother me. I'd prefer it if there was a move to get rid of him for his 'business' dealings, his threatening drivers for speaking their minds, and for his petty vindictiveness and the way he's repeatedly brought F1 into disrepute over the years.

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.
