Full Throttle

It’s taken a while, a day short of three weeks, but an F1 chauffeur has finally taken up the issue of the The Littlest Perv saga.

Red Bull’s Mark Webber, while not speaking directly of Mosley, had plenty say and mirrored what 99.999 percent of the motorsports world has said.

“The current scandal has brought the sport into disrepute.

“Whether we like it or not, all of us in F1 are role models, and F1 simply cannot have scandals of this type.”

“Whether Max chooses to resign, or how the vote will go at the extraordinary general meeting of the FIA on 3 June, is a matter for him and the FIA membership,” Webber said.

“Hopefully that decision will come on 3 June. We have got the confidence in the people - they have all the information they need to make the decision that will see if he can continue.”

Webber, BBC Sport’s columnist, said: “He’s in a very, very influential position and it’s a very important role that he has.

“It makes it difficult when any of these sorts of scandals are involved, when they become public. It will be more challenging for him to do his role.”

Webber also offered his opinion why many have not spoken out at this point:

“I think they are waiting for the extraordinary meeting to take place. A lot of people are sitting on the fence and waiting for the right protocol to happen. And I’m sure on the 4 June there will be a lot more reaction.”

“F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport so a lot of other sports have been tarred with the same brush,” Webber said.

“Because F1 is so high profile, we are always very sensitive to not bringing it into [disrepute] because of the amount of people involved in it.”

Yeah, what he said, not need for my to comment any further.
