Now it's clear that Mosley has to go NOW and soon Bernie too!

The ACEA demands a modern and clear FIA administration.

ACEA members are BMW, DAF, Daimler, FIAT, Ford, General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover,
MAN, Porsche, PSA Peugeot Citro?n, Renault, Scania, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo.

This F1 crap need to end now and Max need the booth!

Now he will get the booth!

FOTA don't dance with the old farts no more!

If FOTA starts a own series Bernie will loose billions,
and Max will be in the history books as the idiot who spoiled the F1.

The FIA has already launched legal action... Claiming Ferrari and a couple of other members are contractually bound through 2012 (based on the agreement Ferrari signed when they bailed out of the GPWC efforts last time).

I'd much prefer a manufacturer-run series without the FIA and Bernie, so let's hope this all works out for them.

Next year will be a FIA run series with the FOTA's (current) rules, but without Max, I guess.

Mosley has done some great things for the safety in the the past, but now...

Jean Todt could well be the next President for the FIA.

Mosley must go!

Now even Bernie says, back off Max and even Flavio Briatore took up the Mosley Nazi sex play.

Link here!

Good bye, Max!

But Bernie: You shouldn't need to be so greedy anymore, or you will loose the work of your lifetime...


PS. M. Mosley is "only" 69 yo but Bernie E. is 78 yo. Think about that!

PPS. Mosley did also comment, that he don't like "old guys saying what to be done in the F1"(!?)

He is just too much into the Nazi thinking...

I would like to be wrong about this, but on Wednesday, The Turd will announce that he is going to run for yet another term as President of the FIA.

And the reason that he will claim for this is that he has received so much positive feedback about the idea due to his excellent work from Formula 1 teams and other national FIA organizations around the world. :thumbsdown:

That old Nazi lives in dream world...

Bring on the Grand Prix Championship (or whatever they will call it)! Goodbye FIA!!

Ok, apparently (on Thursday), it will be announced that FOTA's championship will be called, "New Formula".

Interesting!
