"The trouble is Max has gone too far with this and the teams have suddenly said 'I'm sorry, we can't take it any more'.
"It may well be that Max Mosley has to go. He has a great position of power, but big trees do blow over."
I read an interesting post on Joe Saward's blog today, where the grandprix.com journalist re-published an interview he conducted with Max in 1991 when he was first going for the FISA (the sporting arm of the FIA) presidency against the unpopular Jean-Marie Balestre. Have a look at these excerpts...
"The president ought really to sit there, listening to the views, summing up, trying to get a consensus. The tendency at the moment is that the president sits and makes a very long speech, usually informing everyone about things they know already - like the state of F1 - and then there is no time for these people to put forward their views. And if their views are not in accord with those of the president they are not very well received anyway.' And yet the World Council still votes with Balestre. Why is that? 'Everybody in the FISA depends on the establishment for certain things which are vital to their interests of their country and their ASN - a rally, a local championship, whatever. If they do anything which causes difficulty there is the danger that they will lose the particular thing that is vital to them. So they think that in their interests of their club and their country they have to go along with it. 'I think you have to encourage the people there to say what they really think and listen to what thy have to say, changing the whole atmosphere and style of running FISA. Talking less and listening more. 'The idea that the FISA is the property of one man, and trying to take the presidency from him is like trying to take his house or his car, is alien to any properly run club. 'I think the reason that we will succeed with a massive majority has nothing to do with my qualities - be they good, bad or indifferent - because I think that people perceive that the existing regime is beginning to be a disaster for motorsport.' You can read the full transcript from this 1991 Mosley interview on Joe's very informative blog: joesaward.wordpress.com
