Max Mosley is determined to get to the bottom of what he regards as a Formula One-related conspiracy to destroy him.
The FIA President has successfully sued the British newspaper News of the World for its expose about his orgy with prostitutes, but Mosley believes the real culprits of the set-up have yet to be revealed.
Working on the 68-year-old's behalf is the renowned British investigative squad Quest, and the fruits of their labour will 'soon' be known, Mosley told the press this week.
"Soon you will know who was behind it," the Briton is quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Meanwhile, when asked by the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport if he believes he was the victim of a set-up, Mosley answered: "It is very likely that it was not the newspaper working alone.
"The investigations are ongoing, so it would be unfair of me to express any specific suspicions before anything is proved," he explained.
Mosley said that, even before the News of the World orgy, he was warned by F1 Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone that someone was out to get him.
"Bernie gave me a name," he confirmed, "but I am not about to prematurely accuse anybody of anything. There is still no proof that this person was involved at all."
Mosley, however, was quick to name those F1 personalities who supported him throughout the affair - Gerhard Berger, Frank Williams, Vijay Mallya, Dietrich Mateschitz, and Ferrari.
He intends to step down as FIA president late next year, but plays down speculation that Jean Todt is still in pole position to succeed him.
"Todt would be a very good man for this office," Mosley said, "but I cannot imagine that he wants to do it -- he could get much higher paying jobs than to be FIA President, which is an honorary position."
So who do we think the "man" is ?

I thought it was all admitted. Mosley set it up. He emailed one prostitute and described what he wanted. She arranged it all - which must have been difficult given how those emails kept disappearing - then Max turned up. He was the one who wanted the whole sad, silly scenario. He was not, in any way, shape or form set up. He did it to himself.
So all in all it seems a waste to spend all that money (what's the betting it is not his) on Quest to discover something we all already know.
It is rocket science insofar as it was Mosley who lit the touchpaper.
Many people must have known about his tendencies. You can't keep that sort of thing private for forty-odd (very odd) years. It was only a question of time, or at least timing, until it was revealed.
So don't hold you breath on this setup revelation 'cause it was Mosley all the time.

+1He has already said he is going to retire next year. Dont see the point in trying to get rid of him. All his policies are already in action.....I think one of the prisoners (hookers) sold the story to make some money. The name Bernie gave him was prob his own!

He explained the change by claiming that so many FIA members had come to him and asked him to stay on that he felt obliged to bow to their wishes.
