The FIAs head honcho Max Mosley has dropped a whopper of a hint to the press that he'll be running for re-election for another bundle of years as FIA president. It's really less of a hint and more of a giant sign in 300 font saying precisely what he'll be doing.
Having previously stated that this will be his last term, Max has appeared to change his mind and told the world about it at a luncheon in London this week. "When a lot of people say 'you should stay', it would be sort of churlish not to," Mosley rationalised to the media gathered around for the free food. "At the moment they are saying that and it's very flattering. I'm conscious that a decision has to be made, probably at the meeting of the FIA World Council at the end of June." Max continued between mouthfuls. Of food.
Not content to end the show with that bombshell Max threw in his usual anti-Jackie Stewart tirade, after segueing in from rumours that Royal Bank of Scotland CEO Sir Fred Goodwin may run against him later this year.
Said Mr Mosley "The interesting thing is where it (the rumours) could have come from. It has to be someone with some kind of connection to F1. He's got to have some connection with Scotland. He's got to have no understanding of how F1 or the FIA work, and he has to be unusually stupid. There's at least one person who ticks all those boxes." all while YMCAing out the letters 'JYS' with his body.
It's always good signalling your intent to run for an elected position by abusing a hallowed member of the motorsport community. This news isn't expected to be welcomed by literally anyone anywhere, though Max seems to think 'a lot' of people are telling him he's doing a good job. Yes, and Patronise has 'a lot' of readers.
