F1 Boss Max Mosley is a Hard Ass (He says you can find out how hard it is too, along with Ferrari and Renault…)
After the 29th of May, F1 teams will find out just how hard Mosley’s ass is.
And no, we’re not implying on the guy’s new sex video scandal. In case you’ve been living under a rock, controversy has once again surrounded this little motorsport that we love so much this 2009 F1 Season after Max Mosley decided to enforce a budget cap for 2010.
Of course, wealthier teams like Ferrari and Renault have already voiced out their displeasure towards the move, saying that they will quit Formula One if the FIA still refuses to find a compromise.
Max Mosley, on the other hand, has another, and simpler solution, sign up with the new program or risk being replaced. Yes, it looks like Mosley is not giving in to the threats some of the premier F1 teams are making.
”I think that we will probably get anywhere between three and six teams by the deadline, depending,” FIA President Max Mosley said. ”After that they become a late entry and if there is a space they can take it, and if there isn’t space they cannot.”
”I’m not sure it will drag on that long, because if you put yourself in their position, they have to make up their minds what they want to do. If they want to continue racing in F1, then they can come and talk. And if they want to go and do something else, then they have got to start making a car.”
”If teams don’t enter the F1 World Championship, they are going to have to decide pretty quickly what they do, start their own series, race in some other series or pack it in.”
”And if they pack it in, they have got an even bigger problem than if they operate under a cost cap, as far as the personnel are concerned. It is not completely obvious what they would do.”
”There is a good chance that when people sit and think about it, common sense will prevail because what is wrong with everybody being limited by the same amount of money, and the performance being limited by the cleverness of the engineers? It is very appealing to a lot of people that, and it is fair.”
”And you could argue that if one team has got ten times as much money as another, then it is just the same as having a bigger engine. It is actually not very fair.”

This is so typical of the touchey-feely crap going on today. SO WHAT IF EVERYONE ISN’T THE SAME. Get over it or get better or smarter or something but GET OVER IT. I am sick and tired of someone trying to level the playing field by bringing down the top people. No wonder we have Hope and Change. I will follow F1 without Mosley, or with him tied up in a corner being whipped by Naz………….oops.
