Should he stay or should he go?

Is Max Mosley’s position untenable? Or does his private life not affect his work as the president of the FIA?

 Should he stay or should he go?

Let us know what you think and we’ll publish a selection of your comments in the next edition of Motor Sport.

    Sir

    Surely Max Mosley should not think that he is bigger than the sport, if he'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.

    He's got to go & the sooner the better.

    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.

    What on earth have Mosley'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's off duty activities

    Just to update my comment (it hasn’t been two months!) where I say that “Max should stay”, as “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.”.

    The state we’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 “governance”.

    So, come October, Max should go.
