The FIA’s International Court of Appeal has deviated from its normal ham-handed approach and ruled double-decker diffuser designs used in the first two championship events as legal.

Formula One’s ruling body backed down Friday and agreed to put off a new points system for the sport until next season after the teams objected.

No women, no points. That’s the decision motor racing governing body FIA made with the Saudi Arabian Motor Federation after learning that women were not allowed to compete in Hail Baja Rally, a four-day event that starts tomorrow.

Well that does it then, Tony George’s dream of returning Formula One to Indianapolis Motor Speedway was, and will continue to be, a dream along the lines of Dorothy & Toto not being in Kansas any longer.
The World Motor Sport Council met in Paris today and decided to go ahead with a program that includes [...]

FIA president Max Mosley favours the introduction of a common engine across the board for Formula One race cars.

Those that follow Formula One with any regularity know without hesitation Bernie Ecclestone is a nitwit and isn’t afraid to parade that fact before the general public at the drop of a hat.
But even well known nitwits can outdo themselves, witness Bernie’s latest as he opines on London’s 2012 efforts to hold that years Summer [...]

Formula One, as is the case with most racing categories, is a simple business. The only corporate mission is to win championships. There are no corporate line extensions or product extensions, so everything done within a race team follows the answer to the question: “Will this make the car go faster?”
It is as simple as [...]

Formula One Grands Prix generate more revenue per event than any sport in the world?
That’s the claim made by Formula Money and Deloitte Sport Business Group. (The who group?)
Reportedly F1 generates more revenue per event than any other sport in the world. Each of the motor sport’s 17 races produce an average revenue of $229 [...]

Every family seems to have a weird uncle.
Whether he’s “weird” in the strictest sense of the word or just something out of the ordinary to a particular family the statement is true enough to use the generalization.
At this point in the Max Mosley scandal it seems pretty fair to say Mosley is to the FIA [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]
