x, Islam, stop it. The point is Mosley's letter and/or the chances of Vatanen and Mosley being elected.
This is Vatanen answer:
It is very sad he has done this. But they know we are leading now. If he knew they were leading he would never write such a letter. This means the tide is turning. This is what happens in an election when you challenge the establishment.
And he said this, also, about Max proposal to have the envelopes with ballots marked with the names of the delegate:
Obviously this is the key question because there is a fear of intimidation. Contrary to what Max Mosley says it cannot be foreseen how they will vote. They follow their heart and conscience.
The French laws are very good in this respect and we are seeking legal advice. It’s important that we know the ballot papers are going to be anonymous. They should not be given out in envelopes with the voters’ names on it.
If this means anything, as you can see, Bernie Ecclestone grabbed Vatanen by the arm to force him to say hello to Todt... This gets a double exclamation mark in my book. Here you have it: !! (Todt face is priceless, I think).

For those of you that might be interested in what's the difference,
because there is a difference, here you have the transcript of Vatanen point of view on the budget cap and the calendar:

Excerpts you might like to read here:
Take a look at my voting record in the European Parliament on things like block exemption, garage servicing and car taxation. I have always been on the side of the consumer. I backed legislation which allowed Finnish citizens to go abroad and import cars, which manufacturers didn’t like, but was what consumers wanted.
... and this:
Things like this (budget caps) have to be done in an intelligent way. Ferrari is a brilliant example of this. Ferrari produces only 6,000 cars per year yet is able to run its production and an F1 team, thanks to its brand value and the sponsors it is able to bring in. You can’t go to Ferrari and say “F1 is too expensive” because their business concept is sound. You have to negotiate with everybody, not just come up with proposals that would change the setup totally.
Now, I don't expect everybody
to be a person of note, sane and rational, fearless and intrepid, witty and forceful, and above all, devilishly handsome like the mods here, but, pleeze, if you keep fighting about Kim-Il-Jong and arab democracies you'll never become one, and, worst of all, I'm goint to make jokes about
you... and you already know how bad my jokes are. You have been forewarned.
