And so the saga goes on in formula 1 just because one egotistic fool (Max Mosely) thinks he is irreplaceable. Lets hope, if he is stupid and stubborn enough to stand for re-election, that he is unanimously voted out leaving him in no doubt that he IS NOT WANTED! It is him and his ego that is holding back any progress for the future of formula 1 and by doing so has undone any good he brought to the sport in the past. By his deeds in the past couple of years, you have to wonder at his sanity, and ask, if by throwing his toys out of the pram, is he going back to his childhood days? This being an early sign of senility.
Max Mosely is still throwing his toys out the pram because the big boys don't want him to play with them anymore. He just can't accept the fact that he is not wanted because he is undoing all the good work that he did before, and has lost the respect of the main players in formula 1. Even though he won't admit to himself that the big boys want rid of him, the rest of the world knows, so instead of continuing to be a pain in the butt, just go and let formula one get on with the exciting future it has in store once he is gone.
Well, now we are one step towards formula 1 racing again, by getting rid of Max Mosely, lets hope the future is brighter for the sport with less restrictions, and while not forgetting safety, let the manufacturers use the new improvements they design, that often leads to better safety and conditions on our public roads. If you allow the manufacturers more scope then we will have the exciting races that the spectators pay good money to see which will bring in more revenue to the sport helping, everything and everyone.
Another boring British G.P. thanks to the restricting rules set down by the egotistical Max Mosely. Formula one has taken backward steps with the new money saving rules, and I for one will be glad if the breakaway teams set up their own racing structure for next year, then maybe we will see some "racing" on the track instead of a high speed procession of cars going round and round with the only excitement being the pit stops. So boring was this last race that the TV cameras were trained on the crowd, mechanics and the pit wall for long periods, because there was nothing much exciting happening on the track, and hard as the commentators tried they still could not bring any excitement to this boring spectacle. The attempt to change the venue to Donnington is also a farce, because if it is not ready in time for next year, they have had the audacity to say it will be held at Siverstone again. That to me is proof enough that there was no need to replace Silverstone as a venue, and the only object of the move was to create controversy, and fuel the egos of Max Mosely and Bernie Ecclestone. Also, if Max Mosely's claim that the breakaway group would not survive without him and Bernie, why is he threatening to take them to court? If he was so sure they will fail then surely it would be better to let them go ahead, and prove his point, then, that way, there would be no doubt about who was right and who was wrong, eliminating the need for pointless court action . Another mistake in his ageing judgement is that the breakaway set up would NOT be Formula one, but with the best drivers and the top teams going it alone, with an unrestricted budget and less restrictive rules, that would permit racing and overtaking, which would make a superior and exciting competition for the spectators, it WOULD be "formula one" leaving his set up a very poor second best. So good luck to the new regime and good riddance to Max Mosely, and even though he did bring good safety measures to the sport, the only thing his rules are doing now is ruining it.
As an avid viewer of F1 I think it is time Max Mosley left his ego trip behind and stopped stifling the sport by introducing negative rules that only succeed in making Formula 1 less interesting for the viewers. The excitement in the sport is diminishing year after year as his prevention of freedom of expression for the engineers has been curtailed to the rules he makes supposedly for safety and now for the expenses of the teams. The safety in the sport has now come to a point where even in the worst smashes the drivers come out without a scratch which is a great achievement as was long overdue, but instead of letting the progress of the cars continue along with the safety measures it is now going backwards. That is the last thing you want in a sport that is supposed to focus on speed, and when the drivers AND the team managers begin to protest its time they were listened to. Max Mosley needs the racing teams, but the racing teams do not need Max Mosley. He should have been booted out of the governing body of the sport with the last fiasco in his private life and because he was given a second chance he seems to think he is invincible hence bringing out these restricting rules to prove a point. The teams should be allowed to spend as they please to develop the cars as they please because it not only helps them to succeed but their improvements can be very beneficial to ordinary road cars too and new technical advances can be tried and tested under the extreme conditions of the race track saving manufacturers more expense. The teams with the biggest budgets might come out on top but the lesser teams have managed to accept it and compete in the past as they know what to expect when they enter the sport. Get rid of the egotistical Max Mosley and let the sport breathe again even if it means breaking away from him and his sidekick Bernie Ecclestone .
