Max let off
The FIA extraordinary general meeting has given Max a life-line, for now.
It seems that of the 177 votes cast, he got 103 votes for him to stay on, with seven abstentions and four invalid votes. So for now he is still the FIA president.
However it could all change. The German ADAC (largest motoring body in Europe) have decided to suspend all activities relating to the FIA from immediate effect, and it also looks like the American Automobile Association will be doing the same unless Max steps down as president.
Quote from ADAC - This is a reason for Europe’s largest automobile club to let its functions and co-operation in FIA working groups rest at world level, ADAC will stay with its decision as long as Max Mosley holds the top FIA office as President.
Quote from AAA - (it was a) disappointing day for the FIA. I will give it very serious consideration whether or not to remain effectively engaged in an organisation that condones this type of activity.

Max finally gone mad?
Max Mosley has spouted again, it’s not enough to put down one of the finest names in F1 history (Stewart), he has now said that Lewis Hamilton’s success is bad for the sport, wtf?
Yes I too am a little sick of the over importance the British press has heaped on Hamilton’s shoulders, but this?
"If he does the same thing next season as he’s done this season, it will certainly have a big effect," he told the BBC’.
"It will start to be negative because we’ll get the Schumacher effect where people start writing to me saying can’t you do something to slow him down."
He says this after one of the best seasons of F1 in years?
Max is so used to getting his own way, that he thinks he can call Jackie Stewart a ‘half wit’ and get away with it, now this? English papers are now dubbing him ‘Mad Max’, and to be honest, I don’t think there too far from the mark.
