Cool News: We will be giving away 3 sets of 2 Tickets for the 2009 German Formula 1 Grand Prix in issue no. 6, the pair priced at 340 Euros!
Also there will be three fan packages from the green hell brand “Grüne Hölle” in the draw. More details in the next edition of P1Mag.
And to update the question posed on Tuesday: What do you think about the outcome of the Conflict FIA/FOTA now? Was that the easy peasy outcome of all that struggle? o0r is this just yet another episode in a war that’S going to escalate in October? Is Formula 1 really save now? How do you see the situation after Mosley’s statement?
We still plan to give fans a plattform in issue 6 to voice your opinion.
When the FIA/FOTA agreement was announced, I was innocent enough to believe that we would be able to talk of motor racing instead of the weasel words and underhand dealings of power brokers in back rooms. But no, Max Mosley has contrived to start everything up again, commencing with a letter to Luca di Montezemolo protesting at his use of words in press releases and threatening to stand for re-election if he did not receive an apology. And, not having received a reply from FOTA, he has sent the WMSC a missive that sounds just like the self-justifying excuses he tried after last years’ spanking scandal.
After months of argument over the future of F1 and when finally a deal that appeared to satisfy everyone turned out, Mosley finds it worth risking the destruction of the sport again because he feels insulted over the tone of Luca’s announcements to the press. I hardly need to point out that this is the man who finds nothing wrong in calling the FOTA leaders “loonies” or referring to Sir Jackie Stewart as a “certified halfwit”. It seems that Mosley can spread out the insults but it is an entirely different matter when his own dignity is at stake.
I really thought we had not seen the last of Mosley but I must admit that I was quite surprised by how quickly he proved me correct. In my innocence, I had hoped that the war was over and we could now talk of other and more savory things; How fool am I ?.
I should have seen this coming, since I have already seen how keen Max and Bernie usually resort to argument by insult. The sooner we see the back of this pair, the better for all concerned with F1!
Mosley’s letter to Luca is full of exaggerations and logical inconsistencies but am just too sick of the childish posturing that passes for politics under Mosley’s regime, with constant changes and illogical outbursts.
I have had enough of F1 politics to last me for many years!!!…
Honestly: I expected something like this to happen a couple of weeks before the election. By then teams would have been fully in the process of bulding their cars, finalizing sponsorship deals and it would be too late to organize a breakaway series. BUT NOW????
