    Whatever his sexual proclivities may be, they have not affected his outwardly demeanor or performance as President of the FIA. As such, I don't see how his fantasies or fetishes (however sick and bizarre as they may be) have any influence or effect.

    Whether this is timely with respect to Jean Todt is another matter, one full of speculation for the conspiracy theorists. That being said, I took Mosley's issue with racism towards Hamilton by Spanish media as genuine. What a man does with willing consenting adults behind closed doors is his own personal matter, so long as it does not bear influence or cloud judgment on his outwardly demeanor and actions in a professional capacity. Seeing as how Mosley's sexual proclivities don't manifest themselves in his handling of the FIA and his Presidency of such, I don't see how any of this should be called in for scrutiny by the FIA. If there was misappropriation of funds, or if he did something illegal with respect towards the FIA - then perhaps his Presidency could be called into question.

    I think what you do in your private time is your business, but he is the FIA President. Should we hold him to a higher standard because he represents the international governing body for motor racing events? I think we should. I also believe that he was sincere at cracking down on some racist fans who mocked Lewis Hamilton. Based on Mosley's family history, and the theme of his sexual fantasy, I thought it showed a depraved insensitivity to what the Jewish people went through at the hands of the Nazis.
