What BE says goes in F1. Only 3 major teams were not owing to him - the contracts have them watching him take a massive amount of the monies while they plough development into the sport. He is a VERY smart businessman who has them by the nutzz to put it bluntly. They signed the contracts though.<br />Mosley should have been thrown to the wolves a long long time ago - the man is a liability to the planet - never mind just F1. How he got away with the prostitute debacle I'll never know...... his lack of humility and refusal to step down amid ridicule just showed how out of touch with the real world the old duffer is.<br />There are plenty of ex drivers, ambassadors to the sport that would do a far better job..... one of them needs to step up.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
