Max in a spot of bother

I would *love* to have seen Ron Dennis and Jackie Stewart's reactions
when they first saw this:

(It goes without saying that it's not entirely work-safe. There are
pictures.)

Whoo-ee! Good bye Max and good riddance. Your father was a disgusting
piece of s**t and I've always believed that you should be tried - as
should von Thatcher for stuffing an entire country along with Richard
(Dr.) Beeching and others......

Seriously, how did this guy get the job? Back in the day motor racing
was just that. Now it's a "global business" (hello Bernie?) with no
pretentions to technical excellence. Can we now have a formula which
encourages development - a fuel formula like the Duckworth flow
regulator with no other restrictions apart from safety ones?

On second thoughts - and as the News of the Screws video won't play
using Firefox - can this be true? Really? Anyone?

Well all I get is the "News of the World" logo and the sound of someone
saying "bend over". Please understand that I don't particularly want to
see this obviously peculiar clip, but does Firefox relate to, say real
player? Which format is this and why can't my machine deal with it?

I have no idea as to why your machine can't deal with it, my Firefox plays it
perfectly.

It opens up in a new window (do you have a popup-blocker or something similar
running?), which appears to be something called "notw online video player" and
opens in the following URL:

http :// www .newsoftheworld.co.uk/videoplayer/index.php?videoid= http :// del.interou
te,com /?id:f6810b-1ecc-49ad-a746-994ea2c88ecb&delivery=stream

Watch out for the wrap.

Well Max is fighting it on grounds of "invasion of privacy" so yes,
looks like it.

Frankly, what Mosely - or anyone else, for that matter - gets up to in
his private life is his business and nobody else's, and he's probably
got the "Screws" bang to rights on that count. From the paper's
description of events, although IANAL, it sounds like entrapment to me;
rather different to setting up camp outside his house and waiting for a
juicy snap. It's also worth noting (as Pitpass does) that it's part of
News Corp., one of whose other papers, The Times, is engaged in legal
shenanigans with the FIA already.

But as I suggested in my OP, it'll be pretty hard for him to take the
moral high ground with team owners and "certified half-wit"s from now
on. People in glass houses, Max, old boy...

5 hours of video doesn't sound like entrapment to mre - it sounds like
hubris.

Max hasn't denied it occurred. It displays very poor judgment on his
behalf that he thought such activities wouldn't become public
knowledge and how the content of such activities would be perceived
giving his family heritage.

It may not meet with universal approval, but odds on that Jean Todt is
the front-runner.

There has been some rumours of Todt alright. Won't do much to dissuade
people of the FIA pro-Ferrari bias.

How about Hill after spending some time as the BRDC president?
