With the publication today of the WMSC decisions regarding F1 it becomes even more essential than ever that Max Mosley leaves office. He has now used his power to reject a logical proposal from FOTA for the points system which was based on the wishes of fans. As can be seen on the thread on here most fans oppose the points system which is being adopted.

Further, the budget cap proposals are completely ludicrous - whatever MM says, it takes away the DNA of Formula 1. The governing body, if concerned about the budgets, should word regulations to enable the basics of F1 (individually designed open wheel cars built around engines limited by capacity) to be preserved at lower cost. I am sure it wouldn't be difficult, but he is trying to water it down to the point that it will go the same way as WRC unfortunately has.

If the teams budget is to be capped, the FIA president should be forced to have no more than £500,000 to their name and be paid a fee of no more than £50,000 per year plus expenses which would be commensurate with that salary. How would Mr Mosley like that - no more Friday afternoon parties.

Can we collectively get someone to stand as undoubtedly MM will be standing again despite what he has said previously.

I suspect you might find that President of the FIA is a post with no salary.....

I know, but a $300m bung from the commercial rights holder would more than compensate. That is what I think needs to be avoided.

Can the people of Pistonheads get hold of a suitable trophy (an alloy wheel or something), mount it on a plaque and then present it to the real world champion, ignoring all this medals/wins rubbish?

"In memory of Max Moseley" on a little cheap gold looking sticker on the bottom of the base, so when it is displayed no-one would see it.

Oh, he's not dead yet. Sorry, jumping the gun there. As you were.
