Oh that's nothing. This year's scandal involving the head of the FIA (group that governs F1), Max Mosley, and the tape of his Nazi themed dominatrix orgy is SOOOOOOO much more fun! Max's dad was head of the Nazi party in England prior to WW2, so it was just good family fun! Go to the News of the World web site for the full story (and video)

Amazing given the financial interests in worldwide racing governed by the FIA. I hope Mosley gets his ass handed to him in November in the election for a new FIA president. I really wouldn't care except for his use of the "bringing the sport into disrepute" clause against McLaren last year in the spying case. If it hadn't been Ferrari, it would've been a minor matter. Max is a classic case of absolute power corrupting absolutely. He's as bad as Balestre was (his predecessor). And that's saying alot.

Morale of the story : women manage to f*ck EVERYTHING up, even the pinnacle of motorsports.

Great synopsis of the whole sordid affair. The decision in Mosley's favor has thew German Auto Club seceding from the FIA with others threatening to follow suit. It ain't over till it's over.
