      Fair enough - it looks like it was done democratically so if that's what the FIA members want then that's what they get.

      However, looking at what Bernie is now saying about Max I think we're in for an interesting few months - handbags at 5 paces and all that. Unfortunately they've both forgotten the sport. It's just two power hungry old men.

        As an F1 fan I think it is now time to let sleeping dogs lie and get on with the real "interest" for all genuine fans - the racing is what we want to hear about.

        I expected Mosley to keep his job to be honest, it's unfortunate, but then again it keeps Bernie from getting full power. For now.
        In my view both men should leave in sync to make way for a complete renewal (but I've said this before haven't I? what a boring repetitive sod I am), otherwise the other will stay on and get the other's power.
        In other words, when Max steps down from the FIA, if e.g. he doesn't go for another term, Bernie should pass his role on too. And if Bernie dies, Max should step down too.

      I'm wondering if we might see him had his notice in soon.... Leaving on his own terms rather than being pushed but its going to be interesting to watch and see how many big people leave....

        We live in hope, Dan, but I think Max has to stick with it now or it will look like Bernie won. It's like two kids that smash up their toys rather than let the other one play with them.

        It's a terrible thing for the sport. Instead of this being the end of the issue we now have Bernie fighting Max for power, and motoring clubs leaving and trying to set up a new association.

        It's very possible that teams who weren't financially sound will end up folding. I'm beginning to think that Renault will now confirm the rumours and give up. When they lose Alonso they will have big problems anyway.

        The sport itself seems to be totally secondary.
        What a shame because from a point of view of competitiveness F1 is currently better than it has been for years.

      I think the quote from the Dutch motoring association sums it up:

      Guido van Woerkom, president of the Royal Dutch Touring club: "There is a lot of money going around, and if you get a small piece of that bread it can be very nice to eat. There were many people who didn't want to speak to him before. I can't think they will want to speak to him now as a result of what has happened. Nothing has changed in that respect. Just because he gets a few clubs from Africa voting for him will not make the King of Spain want to shake his hand."

        there is a very simple way to get rid of max

        do not tune in until 5 mins before race time on sunday,

        and switch of before the presentations,

        i do not know how long it will take to confirm the viewing figures but as soon as this action was confirmed to the sponsors and advertisers his desk would be clear in 24 hours,,
        the other way is switch of for 3 minutes every time your local broadcaster goes to an advert break, if the tv companies will not confirm that this happened the electricity companies will,,
        same result

      Ecclestone being absent from his Ivory Tower was a sign that Mosley was going to stay, imo.
      As PG says.....
      It will be interesting to see the power struggle that will start any day soon, and, to see what Mosley brings out of the cupboard in way of retaliation regarding The Poison Dwarfs sex life.
      Maybe the front pages will depict Ecclestone as having had an affair with a gangsters moll, years ago, and has a secret love child walking around.

      Well theirs a thought. ;-)
