There’s an interesting story out of the U.K. that is related to Max Mosley’s attempt at gaining financial restitution from NotW for invasion of privacy when they printed the nazi spank-fest featuring Mosley and five prostitutes.

Actor Hugh Grant just won a U.K. court judgment for invasion of his, Liz Hurley and her husband Arun Nayar and accepted £58,000 damages over photographs taken of them on holiday in the Maldives.

According to the BBC story the trio selected the islands strictly for the privacy and the seclusion the private resort claimed was available.

Two thoughts on this; 1. What the hell made these three think anywhere on the planet offered any type of seclusion when your at their level of star status, and 2. Why isn’t the the so called “private resort” held culpable? Looks from this distance they promised something they couldn’t deliver.

Anyway, I wonder what this says about The Littlest Pervert’s case against the NotW because of the obvious privacy connection in the two cases?

I suspect a lot, but I say that knowing little on the issue within the U.K. ither than they are much stricter than most places on the planet

Regardless of the final outcome of Mosley’s suit it should have little to do with the FIA decision considering his actions since the the story first broke. He’ continued to lie out his posterior and spin faster than a frog in a blender.

Funny thing is Mosley could learn something from Grant.

Hugh Grant was the toast of Tinseltown until he was hit by a scandal after his encounter with a Hollywood prostitute in 1995, but now he has been embraced by U.S. audiences because of the stylish way he handled the issue.

Grant said on Larry King Live at the time, “I could accept some of the things that people have explained, ’stress,’ ‘pressure,’ ‘loneliness’ - that that was the reason. But that would be false. In the end you have to come clean and say ‘I did something dishonorable, shabby and goatish.’”

Mosley could learn something, but he’s too bull-headed, stubborn, drunk with the power his position affords him and just plain stupid.

Remember when a Czech ally of Max “The Littlest Perv” Mosley came out in full support of him and claimed it was all a grand conspiracy perpetrated by Mclaren’s Ron Dennis?

Well, I guess the black helicopters, Area 51 visitors and Ron Dennis theories are all in the same category, the machinations of a deluded mind.

Radovan Novak, general secretary of the Czech Automobile Association, who made the original charge against Dennis has contacted Mclaren stating in essence, “opps, sorry, my bad can I have a do over?”

Mclaren has posted the following on their website:

“Mr Novak has asked us to make it clear that he does not believe that either McLaren or (team boss Ron) Dennis were involved in the events referred to and that the remarks are not representative of his views, “Mr Novak has apologised for the misunderstanding and McLaren and Mr Dennis have thanked him for this gracious and swift reaction.”

Lude, conspira, recognosie?

O conspiracy!

After Scuderia Toro Rosso team manager Massimo Rivola attended the recent MotoGP night race at Qatar’s Losail International Circuit he expressed concern over scheduling of F1’s first night event in Singapore.

Under the original schedule there would only have been one and a half hours of running in the dark before the night time qualifying session on Saturday.

He told autosport.com after that experience: “Personally I am not relaxed, let me put it like this. Honestly, I would like to test but it is not possible and too expensive to realise. I am sure it will be fine in the end, but there are still some points to discuss.

“The most important is that our schedule should be all over the night, rather than split between day and the night. The sunset in Singapore is at 7pm and at the moment the plan is to have first practice finish at 6pm and second practice to start at 8pm.”

Rivola’s concerns were reviewed by the F1 teams and the FIA with the resulting change in schedule and F1 teams were informed about the latest version of the timetable in Turkey last weekend

The new schedule is as follows:

Practice 1 Friday 19:00-20:30
Practice 2 Friday: 21:30-23:00
Practice 3 Saturday 19:00-20:00
Qualifying Saturday: 22:00-23:00
Race Sunday: 20:00

Autosport also understands that the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) is pushing for some kind of acclimatisation session on the track on the Thursday before the race – although whether this is in F1 cars or other machinery is not yet known.

In what EuroSport is calling an exclusive they quote former F1 world champion Alan “Servile Flatterer” Jones as backing FIA president Max “The Littlest Perv” Mosley.

Jones, apparently speaking after an overdose of snorted Vegemite, has even jumped on the conspiracy bandwagon: “I think he was set up,” Jones claims.

Jones, speaking to Eurosport at the final A1 grand prix of the season at Brands Hatch, believes “What he does in his private life is his business.

“I care more about what he does in the office than what he’s doing in the bed - I don’t know that even the majority of people would frown upon what he did. The only crime he committed was being caught.”

It all begs the question, what rock has Jones been living under?

Has he moved into some previously unknown cave in Ayers Rock and missed all the online polls and too-numerous-to-mention motorsport associations in all parts of the globe that have denounced Mosley’s actions and asked for his head on a silver platter?

Regardless of how The Littlest Perv’s sexual proclivities have made into public view they aren’t private any longer. To make that argument now is just a bit beyond stupid.

As far as any conspiracy, so what. Personally, I think Max pretty much set himself up when he agreed to be inspected for lice by five nazi-prostitutes. But that’s just me.

If you want to live by the riding crop, you die by the riding crop.

UPDATE: This is too bizarre to comment on at the moment, so I’ll let you all ponder the possibilities of the FIA hiring Saddams’s former attorney.

The rest of us meaning F1 fans.

Jean Todt is being lined up to replace Max The Littlest Perv Mosley when the current President of the FIA either steps, or is forced, down.

Allegedly that is the overwhelming view in the Formula 1 paddock as the Perv’s self-imposed execution (hopefully!) at the “Extraordinary Meeting” in Paris is now less than five weeks away.

When he does relinquish his grip on the most powerful position within the sport, former Ferrari team chief Todt – one of the few high-profile figures within F1 to publicly back Mosley (read Todt’s slobbering ass kiss here) – is widely believed to be the man being groomed to take over. Both the BBC and The Times have reported that the Frenchman is “a lock” to assume the role.

God save our gracious Queen (and us poor F1 fans too)
Long live our noble Queen, (but nip the Frog Prince Todt in the bud)
God save the Queen: (and us poor F1 fans too, PLEASE!)
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious, (but don’t be asshats and elect The Frog Prince)
Long to reign over us: (with more Ferrari conspiracies and Mosley-like inefficiency)
God save the Queen. (for the sake of all humanity us poor F1 fans too, PLEASE!)

The list is getting longer for the future former head of the FIA. The Littlest Perv has lost another round in the legal system of the EU.

A judge in Paris said Tuesday it was not within his jurisdiction to ban an Internet video of The Littlest Perv with prostitutes, but he ordered the French recall of newspapers containing photos of the scene.

Judge Joel Boyer said he couldn’t ban access to website of the British tabloid the News of the World, which had carried a video with images of the scene, because the site is owned and based in Britain. Mosley’s lawyer, Philippe Ouakrat, had requested the site be restricted in France because the FIA, the governing body for motorsports that Mosley heads, is based in Paris.

“The mere fact that this site is accessible from France — like all others on the Web — is not enough to justify French jurisdiction,” Boyer wrote.

In what has been described as a “contentious” meeting of F1 Team Principles Saturday in Barcelona Max “The Littlest Perv “ Mosley may have finally gotten the “cut [that] is the deepest.”

It may not have been the first cut, as the song made famous by Rod Stewart would suggest, but after many smaller cuts by various F1 and motor sports luminaries Bernie Ecclestone may have given him the deepest slash of them all.

He pulled his support of his long-time confident and apparent butt-buddy Mosley.

After initially issuing statements defending Mosley saying the issue was mainly a “private matter,” the weight of so many opposed to his remaining in the job finally took its toll on the 77-year old Gnome.

Reportedly Ecclestone visibly lost his composure when representatives for Williams, Ferrari and Red Bull refused to sign a statement asking for Mosley’s resignation that would have been distributed to the media.

The Times newspaper claims that, if the confidence vote on June 3 does not remove Mosley, some motoring organizations have threatened to break away from the FIA and set up an alternate umbrella organization.

America’s AAA is reportedly leading the push.

Flash back with me to the 1995 F1 season, a year that followed a very controversial 1994 that saw many “scandals” and the lost of the great Aryton Senna.

The season opened at Brazil’s Interlagos and resulted in a first win of the season for Michael Schumacher/Benetton-Renault. Second place went to David Coulthard in the Williams-Renault team.

After the podium celebration, the entire paddock were shocked by a FIA decision: Schumacher and Coulthard were disqualified due to use of illegal fuel supplied by Elf.

Elf had, by rule, supplied a sample of that years fuel prior to the season start. It was the FIA’s ruling the fuel used that day failed to match the “chemical fingerprint” and both drivers were excluded.

Ferrari claimed innocence, and remained fairly quiet on the matter waiting for a final solution during a Paris meeting of the FIA Commission.

ELF, which had provided fuel to F1 for nearly 3 decades at that point, maintained they had strictly ahered to the rules and mounted an extensive publicity campaign in the French Press.

Mad Max growing tired of the brow-beating went to the press himself to counter ELF and the French print media:

“The time has come when Formula One needs a more adult approach from it’s participants,” he said. “”It reflects poorly on the sport and, again shows a lack of an adult attitude.”

“One expects a reasonable standard of behavior from a major international company. When there’s something, they should admit it and not keep a campaign going for nearly three weeks, notably in the French Press, pretending something that everybody knew was not true.”

“Everyone involved - the teams, the sponsors, the technical experts - must bear in mind that fundamentally this is a sport. It may involve a great deal of money, it may have a huge commercial interests at stake. But the moment that anyone involved at the top of F1 is more interested in the money than he is in the result, the whole thing will collapse.”

Obviously given the standard set by Mosley 13 years ago is far from what “The Littlest Perv” is living by now.

He has set himself far above the sport in not heeding calls by many of F1’s top names to step down and frankly, has acted as if he were a child whose only offense were hands caught in the bottom of a cookie jar.

Max it’s time to heed not only the present call to step down, but live up to the previous high standard you’ve set for others and ignore now.

Mosley international laughing stock?

Why yes, he is, think you for asking.

UPDATE: In related news; London, To fight prostitution, some say target clients.

UPDATE II: Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has kind words for the job Mosley has done, however a rather tepid endorsement for him continuing in the job.

When asked if he felt Mosley could still head the FIA after what happened, di Montezemolo said: “I think it’s objectively unlikely, but I believe it depends on him and his sensibility.”

Question: When does calling in a marker on favors owned also come with the kiss of death?

When the holder of the marker called is Max “The Littlest Perv” Mosley.

The favor is demanded of Jean “The Toad Prince” Todt to issue forth a slobbering ass kissing proclamation of support until such time as said Perv desires to step off his thrown.

Or the end of all earthly time.

Whichever happens to come first.

I’m betting the later, and given the Toad Prince’s near proposal of marriage to Mosley the odds have gone up I’m correct.

“He is very intelligent and of rare elegance. A gentleman,” Todt says of Mosley

“If you ask me” (we didn’t, but continue Prince) “whether I am happy with the actions of the FIA president in his job, I consider that he does very good work. Therefore I hope that he will have the opportunity to continue his work for numerous years.”

That faint smell of rotting flesh is the Kiss of Death sneaking up on Todt’s meager chances of succeeding Mosley as president of the FIA[sco].

Would it be fair to re-ignite all those Todt/FIA/Ferrari/Mosley conspiracy theories about now?

“First law on holes - when you’re in one, stop digging.”

Max Mosley isn’t using a shovel at the bottom of the hole he’s dug for himself, the fool has a 400 horsepower backhoe in the hole with him.

Not that I care, if I were able I’d lend a hand. In fact I should think dynamite might be his best bet as long as he’s soooo into this hole digging thing, but I digress.

The Littlest Perv has consented to his first interview since the lid came off the scandal. As expected he still maintains what has happened in his private life should be just that, private, but does admit his wife Jean was “not best pleased” and his sons were “embarrassed” at the revelations.

Yeah, I bet.

“Most people say if somebody likes doing that, if it’s not harming anybody, if it’s in private and it’s completely secret and personal, it’s nothing to do with me.”

Right, as long as it’s private, far from the reality at the moment, or anytime in the future.

He added: “My inclination is to stand and fight.”

Yeah, to our great consternation, we’ve noticed!

(Standby, it gets deep, REAL DEEP now) The Littlest Perv accepted that “a few ex-drivers” had criticized him, but said none of Formula One’s real “opinion formers” had said anything.

Jesus H.Christ on a merry-go-round Max! That statement tells me one of two things.

1. Max has been holed up with his ass-spanking honeys in London all his time and is completely unaware of the furor and long… loooog list of motorsport big wigs calling for his head on a platter, Silver, or otherwise.

2. Or Mad Max is, to use the British vernacular, “up the pole!” More commonly known as nuts, crazy, loony, mcgoofty, loco en la cabeza (in honor of the upcoming Spanish GP), and finally, a fried chicken short of a church picnic!

And that’s all I have to say! (for now, ’cause I’m sure this lunatic isn’t done spewing nonsense.)

UPDATE: The Sunday Telegraph, The Littlest Perv goes into a whine about how a prostitute, think of it, a prostitute, had betrayed him and believes “she’s beneath contempt” because “it’s not just what she did to me, she was friends with the other four and a close friend of one of them.”

Well, D’OH! Think of it getting betrayed by of all things a prostitute, one who is a “professional” in a trade known throughout history as one that will DO ANYTHING for money.

Well, D’OH, thanks for sharing that Homer Simpson moment with us Max.
