FIA boss Max Mosley...is toast.

Regardless of what we all think of NOTW and their ilk, this is bad for mr. Mosley.

It looks for real to me, & it seems pretty hard to fake something like this. Possible, just difficult and not likely.

The part that seems to stink the most is ...how did NOTW get this? They didn't just randomly go after Max Mosley. He's well known, but not exactly a huge superstar. Smells a lot like revenge. FWIW, there's now a report that Max is considering legal action against NOTW for "Breach of Privacy". Is that a tacit confirmation of the veracity of the video?

That said, Max is an arrogant idoit and the sooner he's gone, the better for F1 and autosport in general.

Is he a fascist? I don't know. His Dad, whose fascist political career Max tried to resurrect in Britain before taking the reigns of the FIA, married his Mom at Joseph Goebbels' house with Adolf Hitler in attendance. However, two of his biggest allies are a Jew (Bernie E.) and the son of a Holocaust survivor (Jean Todt).

A lot of people think it's retribution from Newscorp for Max & the FIA's litigation against them over the Martin Brundle article.

Wow, I just read that article. Sounds like the man is really warped.
The royal family of Bahrain sent the Nazi a letter saying he wasn't welcome at the Gran Prix race this weekend. The announcers mentioned the letter when the prince was handing out the trophies after the event.
Hopefully, this guy will never be part of Gran Prix again.

The intrigue in the Mosley case builds.

If this were a movie, no one could suspend belief enough to buy into the premise. Unless the script had been written by Kurt Vonnegut.

Wow, "make sure he never whips anyone again?" Sounds like a threat of bodily harm. In this case, it might arouse Mosley, but most people would consider that offensive.
Who made Mosley FIA "boss" and how do they remove him? Is it an elected position, or what?

Well, now the smaller clubs have confirmed Max in a vote of confidence. This threatens to give the big boys reason to split away from the FIA. It seems they may have been looking for such a motive for some time.
