Interesting Comment by Mosley Approx a Decade Ago

... Another damning comment that has come to light in recent days dates
back to 1997 when Jacques Villeneuve ran into trouble with the FIA for
using a four-letter word to describe his feelings about FIA rule changes
for 1998.

"What bothered me and the World Council," said Mosley at the time, "was
that you get these major companies looking to come into Formula 1 and
spend untold millions of pounds in sponsorships. And, inevitably, you
will always have a few in the company who might be against the idea and
the investment and are looking for the merest excuse to exercise a veto.
It’s clear to the dumbest person you do not want to allow any doubts to
build up that could sabotage the level of investment some of these
companies are prepared to go to, and careless talk from drivers of
Villeneuve’s stature, or anybody else for that matter who is high
profile and influential, is sending out the wrong messages and giving
the sceptics ammunition.

"It is like sawing through the branch you are sitting on. You’d be crazy
to do it."

Well, I think newtown was right. But wouldn't it have been anglo-saxon
and 6 letters? I'm thinking what normally would be past tense.

You haven't made a point. Quoting another's words is not your point, it's
their point. My guess is that you don't have one to make or aren't capable
of if you tried. Personally, I'd wait for the official FIA Senate ruling on
the matter. Apologies if this happens to whoosh over your head as every
other detail to this whole episode has.

Does anyone else feel really weird actually agreeing with a Kinky Max
statement?

Anyway, the rally, and I'm avoiding the obvious Jordan gag....

If understand this correctly, what appears to be happening is that Jordan
don't have a seat on the FIA assembly, but is trying to ramp up its
international motor sport. And funnily enough, (drum roll) it's Kinky Max's
first pubic ally. He new best friend. How sweet. So, should K-Max survive,
expect to see Jordan get that seat a the earliest non obvious time, and a
few plum events to boot.

No?
