Mosley is also responsible for drivers crashing at 300 km/h and walking away unharmed. He aint all bad.

You'd had to be a complete dick to ignore the safety issues of the cars and the tracks after several neck injuries and two fatal crashes within half a year.

Eventhough Mosley did the only right thing back then, it doesn't help much if he's the person responsible to the destruction of motorsports...

Melbourne's getting fed up with the politics, can't blame them really.

And the split is definitely back on.

And just to point out, I don't like Hitler that much either. Fixing Germany's problems before starting the WWII doesn't make it up.

I still feel it was a panic reaction in the first few years instead of carefully examining what went wrong and then fix it. It was more like: "Oh no!! we're going to fast!! lets cut a hole in the airbox!" "Oh no!! too fast tru the corners! lets mess up the wings!!" The near constant rule changes since 1994 pretty much proofs that almost nothing as been carefully investigated.

There will always be knee jerk reactions to tragic events. The immediate changes in the aftermath of Imola 1994 were needed and were not ill conceived. Don't forget, come Monaco pit-lane speed limits were first introduced. Limits on personnel standing in the pitlane were introduced as well later in the year. The plank was also introduced to raise ride height.

Another race full of controversy and political bullshit, I was worried we had to miss that.

At least one of the first that is somehow part of F1 but not FIA member or FOTA member.

Mosley to step down, gives Todt's campaign kiss of death. Say hello to President Vatanen. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/76980

Finally, someone with common sense will be the president.

Ari Vatanen as FIA president would be great. He would be the first president from other country rather than France and the UK?

I was very impressed by Vatanen's interview with the BBC, he'd make an infinitely better President than Jean Todt who would be dreadful.

Well I'll be surprised if Todt doesn't win actually.. Fia has this weird election process where the candidates must make a complete cabinet and put that whole deal up the ballot. Naturally Todt will have many of Max's good pals in it and thus have an advantage. After all quite a (shocking) lot of Fia members have shown in the past that they are big Mosley fanboys no matter what and Todt will now be his natural successor to them.

Makes me want to root for Vatanen even more.

I read about that too, and Vatanen said that this would be one of first things he would change in the FIA.

if Todt gets the job, a new era of Ferrari International Assistance will start

Post subject:	Re: The F1 split - UPDATE JULY 8
To be honest, with Todt's Ferrari background I can see the levels of bias in the FIA getting far worse if he gets in (which I hope he won't, since for some reason I can't stand him).
