A letter from Max

Vatanen will lose the election and lose badly, not least because he chose to denigrate the FIA and those currently in office rather than run a constructive and civilised campaign.

As if we needed any further evidence that MrM is democratically and morally corrupt. A tragic state the FIA is in.

I hear Robert Mugabe and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have been in touch with Max to advise them how to run and administer their countries next general election.

cheeky comment!

anyway, you forgot Kim Jong-Il and Donald Rumsfeld.

Is he scared that Vantanen wins it?

I do hate the block votes we see in international sport. They should put these sorts of elections (inc selecting the Olympics) in the hands of an independent voting organisation with a secret ballot.

It seems that in Max-world any opposing candidate is seen as a traitor. He needs to remember the term "Loyal opposition" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyal_opposition

Reminds me of that insidious expression of "un-American" that they use in the USA.

Agreed. In addition, I think the letter and more importantly Max's actions in regards to the election show that this old man is not mentally fit anymore.
Do we have any psychology majors or professionals on the site to do a quick analysis of Max and what he could be suffering from? I'm actually serious about this.

[xpensive]

I think it's obvious that MrM's political and moral agenda was rather dubious to begin with, power-corruption did not help.

As for a medical diagnose, your guess is good as mine, jd.

And it shows what the present corrupt regime has vested in a Todt victory as well.

I'm afraid this could get ugly, perhaps Shaddock was not that far off above?

There's an entry in Martin Haven's blog on the whole FIA dicatorshi* issue.

Does anyone have some kind of a list/map of who backs Vatanen and who backs Mosley... I mean Todt? I only know that our FAU announced their support of Vatanen a few days ago.

haha! totally hilarious, Arab ruling families ranting about "democracy, transparency and integrity"... the irony... I'm sure they wont allow that to be printed in their own newspapers for fear the people will get some bright ideas.

In the interests of democracy, transparency and integrity, we must be sure that this election is held in a fair and open environment through a secret ballot and under close third party supervision," Jordan's Prince Faisal said in a statement.

All this is just the usual political BS nothing will really change regardless who is elected Todt or Vattinen

Correct, their beliefs doesn't seem to co-exist with democracy very often, do they?

No worse than so called western "democracies"

Wind your neck in lad.

You raised the democracy aspect of the middle east...xpensive, as much as he might have before, was not fishing for a bite..

On Topic - It is amazing that the President can try to shoehorn a successor in to the seat... Perhaps a look at African politics and a coup by the army might work?

The army being the FOTA people with the political clout to make some waves.

just pointing out the truth
