Mosley responds to BMW - Mercedes-Benz statement

By on

FIA President Max Mosley has reacted to the joint statement of BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Mosley believes that the manufacturers should have contacted him before launching the statement to the press. In the meantime, Toyota and Honda have launched a similar statement that judges Mosley's behaviour.

Max Mosley declared to news agency 'Reuters': "Given the history of BMW and Mercedes Benz, particularly before and during the Second World War, I fully understand why they would wish to strongly distance themselves from what they rightly describe as the disgraceful content of these publications.

"Unfortunately, they did not contact me before putting out their statement to ask whether the content was in fact true.

"No doubt the FIA will respond to them in due course as I am about to respond to the newspaper in question."
