Full Throttle

Dog Pile: “A group of people jumping on a person and creating a tower of people while crushing the people on bottom.”

That would be Mad Max Mosley at the bottom, becoming flatter than two-day old road kill, if you hadn’t noticed. And how could you not.

It’s Ed Gordon’s opinion The Littlest Perv has ‘lost’ the Formula One paddock and he has certainly ‘lost’ the press room.”

There’s little doubt he’s lost Germany’s national motoring body (ADAC) is also asking the president of the FIA to “reconsider” his position within the organization and thinks “It is in the interests of this world organization to carry on with its duties without the burden of this affair.”

Yitzhak Milstein, president of the Automobile and Touring Club of Israel, called the story “shocking.”

The Netherlands’ motoring body, KNAF, said it would ask Mosley to resign at the special general assembly Mosley has called to explain himself.

“Because of his high-profile position, this can’t be accepted,” KNAF president Arie Ruitenbeek said. “I have not received my invitation yet (to the FIA meeting), but we will go and will vote for him to resign.”

There’s also wide spread speculation the tabloid will release even more allegations in its Sunday edition. (Oh joy, more blog fodder - ed)

I do find BMW’s boss Mario Theissen reaction a bit odd. He’s backed the joint statement put out by BMW and Mercedes, “We have commented on the public perception of the situation. And that doesn’t need any discussion and any explanation.”

But then he took it a step further, a step closer to foil hat-ville. “It certainly looks like a trap, and that is something which in our view is not acceptable either,” he said.

Whatever Mario, whether it’s some grand scheme perpetrated by a persons unknown, The Littlest Perv did what he did. Until I see evidence he was forced into the situation by something other than his own lack of morals and self respect he’ll remain as The Littlest Perv in my mind and needs go at the soonest possible moment.

UPDATE: Autosport is reporting The Littlest Perv has filed his promised lawsuit. A spokesman for Mosley told autosport: “Lawyers representing Mr. Mosley have today served proceedings against the News of the World, claiming unlimited damages.”

UPDATE II: Add to the pile, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said on Friday “it would be inappropriate for me to comment” in anticipation of the emergency FIA meeting.

Ferrari’s Stefano Domenicali added: “For the time being, we will not make any kind of declaration but I think it’s a matter of role and responsibility. “Everyone has his role and beyond that there is responsibility connected to that, and that’s it,” he said.

Reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen basically copped a plea, Raikkonen is quoted as saying by the Mirror: “It’s his personal life and he can do whatever he wants and it’s not really my business or anyone else’s to put their noses in.” (Whatever Kimi, why are you kissing Bernie’s ass - ed)
