		<description>Just to update my comment (it hasn&#039;t been two months!) where I say that &quot;Max should stay&quot;, as &quot;there were stronger reasons for him to step down because of the McLaren/Ferrari and Renault/McLaren situation, and for his comments about Jackie Stewart, than because of this affair.&quot;.

The state we&#039;re in today is more than sufficient reason for Max to go away. Backtracking on his decision not to stand for re-election is, perhaps indirectly, an evidence of his poor &quot;governance&quot;.

So, come October, Max should go.</description>

		<description>What on earth have Mosley&#039;s hobbies got to do with his ability to run the FIA?

Nothing.

And sponsors will leave only when they no longer feel they are getting value for money, not because of someone&#039;s off duty activities</description>

		<description>Max Mosley should resign immediately.  As a man who holds  high office he has shown  particularly bad  judgement!  He demonstrated this initially by the egregious fine handed out to McLaren that set an entirely inappropriate tone and that has brought F1 into disrepute. His ongoing arrogance and denial of the implicationss with respect to public  revelation of his  sexual conduct, continue to show the same lack of judgement. He is guilty of bad judgement and for that alone he should stand down for the good of the sport.</description>

		<description>Sir

Surely Max Mosley should not think that he is bigger than the sport, if he&#039;s done wrong then he should stand down A.S.A.P before he does further damage. 
Such a responsible position calls for a responsible decsion so Max why not just go now.
His comments on Jackie Stewart surley where not warranted and only can prove what contemptable man we are dealing with.</description>

		<description>If Mosley was a gentleman he should have fallen on his sword as soon as the scandal broke. How can governments, manufacturers, organisers etc. deal with a man with no honour? Surely a search of his house, computers and his e-mails, to see if there is more evidence of this unsuitable behaviour, would be appropriate as is common practice in FIA cases now. What is good for the goose(step) is good for the gander!</description>

		<description>Perhaps Mosley thinks that he will go but at a time and place that suits him and not at the behest of the popular press. However, he is way past that stage. The Sport needs a strong FIA to counter balance the F1 organisation and the manufacturers, not one hamstrung by a lame duck president who lacks any personal authority. He should listen to his closest friends who have his interests at heart, and they will tell him the game&#039;s up.</description>

		<description>Regardless of alleged happenings this problem is going to continue. Mr Mosley should go now before the sponsors of all motor sport - not just F1 - and other activities controlled by the FIA are forced to leave by their shareholders of which I am one.</description>

		<description>Yes Mosely should go.  His private life is private until his sexual peccadilloes becomes public, then his public and political position in the FIA becomes untenable.  Furthermore it suggests flawed judgement for a person in such public view to risk dalliances with prostitutes, and even more so to imagine he can remain without it affecting his authority. Does he not realise that now when he is interviewed people will be thinking more of his sexual preferences, than what he is saying. But of course a political person will never relinquish power willingly.</description>

		<description>Any man with any kind of pride whatsoever, would have and should have resigned immediately.  I guess you can only get up to such disgusting and repulsive antics if you feel that you are above all morality. 
Mosley simply has to go. This whole debacle confirms he is out of control both personally and professionally. Get a bloody grip of yourself man and go away!</description>

		<description>Dear Sir,
Mr. Mosley should have resigned some time ago. Even if he has done some good for the Sport, he seemed to be turning into a J.M. Balestre at his best, before the scandal and, after it, seems to have lost any capacity to adequately represent Motor Sport.
I write to you also with a request (please, please) not to change too much this wonderful and unique magazine. The move to modern racing, if limited to F1 and to the great writers like Mr. Roebuck is enough, as long as it doesn&#039;t, as promised, diminish the space you used to have for the History of the Sport (Drivers, Circuits, Races,...). To include modern US racing, articles on modern cars (even SUV&#039;s) and, as I read in the site, bikes, may turn this magazine into &quot;just another one&quot;. Please don&#039;t do it.
Best regards
Alexandre Beirão</description>

		<description>Mosley claims what he does in private, as long it&#039;s not illegal and as long as nobody gets hurt, is his business and should not have any bearing on his position in the FIA. As long as nobody gets hurt? Presumably his wife and children are all totally unaffected by this affair? Not even embarrassed? How could you have a serious discussion with the President of the FIA and not, for a even a minute, imagine him with his trousers down being spanked by some hooker! Get real. Mosely should go.</description>

		<description>&quot;We’ve taken a hard line on Mosley because we believe his position as FIA President, the most important job in world motor sport, is untenable. As you’ll read in Matters of Moment and Nigel Roebuck’s excellent column, we’re not taking a moral stance here. This has nothing to do with what Mosley does in his private life. What counts is the damaging effect these revelations are having, and will continue to have, on our sport. That’s all we care about.&quot;

I agree with this position exactly. As a Canadian born in 1939, the WWII Oswald Mosely part is not really part of my personal history -- and I was prepared to not blame the son for the sins of the father, but, that aside and counting the &#039;Nazi&#039; part as a throwaway, Mosley cannot continue as the head of the FIA and its involvement in auto racing. I am surprised that, given that he seems to still be a lackey of Ecclestone (going back to the FOCA days), that Ecclestone hasn&#039;t pressured him into resigning already.</description>

		<description>When the Governor of New York State was revealed to have had meetings with prostitutes in Washington, DC and other locations he was forced to resign within ten days. While there were other factors involved (including money laundering), the bottom line was that he was no longer able to effectively run the state or more important, represent the interests of the State in various forums.

It would seem to me that is the question that must be answered here. Can Mr. Mosley effectively represent the interests of the motor sport and motoring industries effectively before the various organizations it is involved with. If you believe he can then he should stay. If you believe he can&#039;t then he must go. In my mind he cannot and so he should go.</description>

		<description>Sir,

Thank you for voicing mine and many others feelings about Max Mosley. 
I was still incensed from his insulting remarks about Sir Jackie Stewart and the lack of apology, when this latest tale of woe spilled out.

Max Mosley has taken advantage of his position, his situation is impossible, he must resign, the quicker the better.

		<description>I cannot see why these revelations about his private life have any relevance to his job. I don&#039;t think he has made a particularly good President of the FIA, but his private life has no bearing on the matter. His responsibilities as President do not include the moral well-being of motor sport participants, so I believe he should not be judged for his behaviour. How precisely is he damaging or hurting motor sport?</description>

		<description>Mr Mosley has brought the sport into disripute, if any of the team owners or drivers were similarly compromised I would expect immediate action from them.  Why should he be different?  To then later suggest in his threatening letter to the FIA that basically they cannot do without him further demonstrates the arrogance of this man.  He seems to think that the normal rules of sport, governance, and common decency do not apply to him.
They do, and he should be reminded of that fact immediately.</description>

		<description>The scandal is an excellent opportunity to get rid of a guy who should not be in position in the first place - was it not him who was influential in selling (giving?) the commercial rights to F1 to Bernie Ecclestone? Look where that has got us. His handling of the McLaren thing would be laughable if it were not so serious - to my mind they have clearly been picked out for special treatment. Taken with the seeming bias towards Ferrari over a number of years, there is clearly something wrong in the way the sport is governed.

The bigger issue though is the unrepresentative way in which the sport is run - how can minor countries with no meaningful motorsport activity be given the same say as the UK, Germany, Italy, France etc?

Finally, it is crucial that the position be taken by someone who is competent and impartial. The idea that Jean Todt would be a good choice is unbelievable.</description>

		<description>Mosley&#039;s sadomasochistic tendencies explain a lot; his (sadistic) treatment of McLaren in 2007 and his (masochistic) determination to hang onto his job regardless of the damage this does to his own reputation and the sport in general.

Of course he should go.

Any FIA member who votes to keep him should have the courage to explain themselves in public.

		<description>Until 2007 I thought Mosely had done a very good job but his handling of the &quot;spygate&quot; affair and his comments about Sir Jackie Stewart told us all it was time to go . Now as a figure very much in the public eye he shows   that he has perverted morals and very poor judgement.
He should have resigned quickly and let us put the whole sorid affair behind us but now the whole sport has been ridiculed . The new president is going to have a tough job!!!!</description>

		<description>Here we have a man who doesn&#039;t realise that the majority of people think that beating women and being beaten by them is distasteful. Claiming they were consenting adults makes no difference, in fact they were not consenting they were prostitutes who were doing this not because they wanted to but because they prostituted their morals for cash. This is a behavior that, now it&#039;s public knowledge, makes it impossible for him to carry out his role. Too many important people who he should be lobbying for support will now refuse to meet with him. He&#039;s a dead man walking and the right thing to do would be to resign. Sadly, it&#039;s obvious that his ego won&#039;t let him do it.

All this on top of several years of inappropriate and underhand support for the &quot;damn red cars&quot;, abusing respected racing personnel of real pedigree, underhand financial dealings and political shenanigans. For pity&#039;s sake Max, leave.</description>

		<description>If, as Mosley quite rightly points out, the invasion of his privacy would be an offence in some other countries, surely the fact that his actions on the video are also illegal in some countries means that he has no leg to stand on.

Further, he gets off on beating women. Whilst Damien Smith says that Motor Sport takes no moral stand, I feel that the head of a multinational concern that thrives on publicity must set an example. Or rather a good one, perhaps just not a bad example. His desires are pre-programmed but his indulgence of them is a matter of choice.

Further, prostitutes are vulnerable. They enter the ‘profession’ for a multitude of reasons but there are few who do not regret it. This is not Jacqui and Tracey from down the pub returning for a bit of fun and nor is it the neighbours round for a game of twister so let’s hear no more about consenting adults as if it was a game of Monopoly.

There are many jobs and careers where one’s private life is of concern to one’s employer and I believe that had Mosley worked for a multinational company where image was important, he would have been fired as soon as his actions were known.

Mosley uses moral judgement in his defence of his actions, such as invasion of privacy. One feels that he can’t have it both ways.

On the matter of the fascist element: the essence of German nazi actions was the death camps, not the badge. The German military uniforms, the checking for lice, the beatings, the dehumanising prison uniforms and mention of the ‘facility’ can have only one interpretation of someone who, like me, was born in the immediate post war era. For someone of Mosley’s age, background and parentage, it is overwhelming. The argument about what wasn’t present is unsustainable, whatever the FIA retained lawyer might say.

And finally, how can a person who is barred from entering a country running a GP, shunned by the royal houses of Europe and the sports ministers of foreign countries, expect to perform his role?

As you may have guessed I feel Mosley must leave. His continued refusal to do the honourable thing is hurting the sport I love. He has no defence, no excuse, no credibility. Just go.</description>

		<description>Mosely must have taken a page from Bill Clinton - it seems that politicians are exempt from being of a high moral standard whether it be government of countries or the governing body of motor racing. What is surprising to me (and it may or may not have had any effect on current things) is the uncovering of his family story. He has got to go, and while we&#039;re cleaning house, get rid of Bernie too for not working out the deal with Indy for the 2008 GP. There, I feel better!</description>

		<description>Mr Mosely&#039;s &#039;do as I say not as I do&#039;, simply cannot now be accepted in this case. He has undoubtebly brought the sport into disrepute. How anybody in his position can try and jusify his current sitution beggar&#039;s belief, forgetting his claims that he did not commit any Nazi act, the very fact that he has paid for the services of five prostitutes is against the law or is he exempt from prosecution?</description>
