Confidence or no confidence, Mosley will retire next year
June 3 is still a long way off with something like this dangling overhead. That's the date for which Max Mosley, the embattled president of the FIA, has called an exceptional general assembly of the organization's constituents to discuss his future with the governing body. In addition to four of the world's largest automobile manufacturers – all of which participate actively in Formula One – several of the 222 member organizations that make up the FIA (including AAA) have called for his resignation. However Mosley, who was videotaped performing a Nazi-themed S&M orgy with five prostitutes, plans to fight for his job. He claims that for every letter of reprimand, he received another seven letters of support.
Whichever way the vote goes, however, Mosley says he'll retire at the end of his current term, which expires in October 2009. The vote will be taken via secret ballot from each of the 222 member organizations representing 130 countries.

His desire to remain for another 12 months only, is purely personal. He does not seem to care one hoot what damage his continued association with world motor sports brings. What a guy!

He's trying to go on his own terms. The dirty old perve should be shown the door straight away.

Were all those letters of support from Northern Idaho, the South, and Germany?

What he gets up to on his own time with consenting adults is nobody's business. I'm a bit pissed off about the mass damper thing though.
BTW was it ever actually established that it had anything to do with "Nazis"? Not that it matters really.

Agreed. I have no problem with whatever he does on his personal time.
The whole "Nazi" thing is a bit chilling though, given that he's the son of fascists, and he helped support his father's campaign. But that's no reason at all for him to resign.

Is Max going into a film career full time?
We had Dirk Diggler, why not Max Mosley.
