Mosley Interview...worth a read!

Interesting but generally fairly well known by long time F1 fans. A lot have people seem to have forgotten that Bernie once owned Brabham, and therefore, as a former F1 costructor, his view wouldn't be the same as the Max and the FIA. I would say Max is slightly in favor of Ferrari, but Bernie is strongly in favor of BOTH McLaren and LH.

 

Thanks for the link DF1! Max actually comes across like an OK guy in the interview. It will be interesting to keep this quote in mind the next few years about the decision to not take away drivers points:

"MM: It was a decision of logic versus emotion. Logic would have demanded to slash all points, but emotion was not willing to wreck such an incredible championship with an armchair judgment. If McLaren had objected to the verdict it could have happened. But they didn’t. Though, I would have excluded McLaren from the championship before. There is a legal rule of thumb in the UK: emotional judgments produce weak findings. There’s no doubt that I have sympathy for Hamilton and Alonso, but that fundamental decision rendered by the World Council could haunt us one day."

Current rulings by stewards make sense now, Lewis drives with an illegal set of tires, penalize the team
BMW drives with fuel outside legal temps, penalize the team

 

Wow, pretty interesting stuff. I too was wondering what stories will emerge from Alonso, when/if he moves to another team. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

+1

I never looked at it that way.

 

+1...great reading...props to links like this DF1.

 

I've never disliked Mosley, I remember watching him as a driver. He is smooth, and a true politician.

I wonder what he really thinks.

 

What Max thinks depends on where he is on the list to get a 599

 

+1 thanks again DF1 for the link.
