Max Mosley's Courtroom Drama Draws To A Close, We Provide Probable Outcome

Max Mosley's sordid legal affair appears to be ending now that the judge in the FIA president's case against the tabloid (News Of The World) that published the details of his alleged Nazi Orgy is nearly ready to rule. Though a major distraction for the sport, we've sort of gotten used to the craziness Mosley injects into our workday. But moments like when he told the judge he really likes S&M will live on in our hearts, and in the legal system whenever someone else uses the old Marv Albert defense. But the question still remains — who'll win? We break down the case below. More »

Max Mosley Tells Judge He Hearts S&M... Seriously

Oh Max Mosley, you creepy weirdo. After being caught in what the tabloid News Of The World described as a Nazi-style sex orgy, Mosley has been forced to cop to the fact that he loves sadomasochistic group sex. But not Nazi sex. No sir. Mosley said he couldn't imagine anything less erotic than Nazi sex, but because he's Max Mosley, he followed up with yet another bizarre revelation. More »

According to The Times, Bernie Ecclestone warned Max Mosley, "that people had been hired to discredit him and that they had been given an unlimited budget to do so."

Max Mosley Wins FIA Vote, Keeps Job

In a stunning victory aided by the smaller organizations, Max Mosley won a vote of confidence from an assembly of FIA representatives. The vote was 103 for the motion and 55 against with seven abstentions and four invalid votes. The response has been overwhelming with German organization ADAC, the largest automobile club in Europe, vowing to leave the FIA until Mosley steps down. American organization AAA is considering similar action according to a representative who spoke to reporters after the vote. Additionally, the Dutch aren't quite happy and Neville Chamberlain the British MSA (Motor Sports Association) thinks everyone should just move on. Some reaction quotes below the jump, including Ray screaming "appeasement" in Helvetica bold. More »

Max Mosley Responds To FIA Club Critics, Let The Crazy Continue

We've got the response from Max Mosley and his band of kinky minions to those puritans from the clubs that asked he accept resignation and be rewarded with a vote of confidence. In his usual nutty fashion, Mad Max responds that this is the "worst possible" solution because any suggestion there is a crisis is "nonsense" and, anyways, he'll lack the authority to save the FIA. It all makes perfect sense... if you're on acid. The full letter courtesy of AutoSport below: More »

Max Mosley Threatens FIA Will Go To Crap If He's Ousted, Officially Channeling Nixon

We'd rather not devote time to Max Mosley and his ongoing attempts to screw up racing like he's screwed up his life, but the story keeps getting crazier and crazier. After being asked to avoid F1 events and, basically, being benched for Monaco, Mosley has issued a letter stating that FIA will be ruined and Formula One destroyed if he's voted out in the big "vote of no confidence" meeting this June. This is basically the Nixon approach. The nation will be ruined and the media, who are blowing everything out of proportion for political reasons, will win. Snippets from the crazy letter discovered by Autosport.com below. More »

Max Mosley Turning Tables On F1 Teams, Avoiding Them At Monaco

Remember how that small group of F1 participants (just drivers, staff, team bosses and sponsors) were developing an elaborate system to avoid Max Mosley at Monaco? They were going to hire spies and scouts to follow his movements and make sure that when Mosley tried to find someone they'd have it so someone would say they had just left the place that someone else had said they had just been before. Basically, the Monaco Grand Prix was going to turn into one long Abbot & Costello routine. But then the FIA decided to strip Mosley of his official title, for the event, instead putting Mosley's Deputy in charge. More »

FIA Wants Sebastien Loeb To Shave Those Sideburns, Hippy

Two senior FIA officials have suggested that television cameras refrain from showing close-ups of four-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb until he cleans-up his "scruffy" look. "Of course these persons are an insult to real males," wrote WRC Commission President Morrie Chandler, kicking off a hilarious email exchange. More »

Ferrari 308 GTB Rally Car Built By MAT

We've never heard of the Scandinavian speed shop Makela Auto Tuning, but we want to be their best friends. These guys are rally and exotic car aficionados of high order, and loving documentarians of their craft. As such there are over 200 images on their site of the transformation of a run of the mill Ferrari 308 GTB into a rip-snorting FIA Group IV spec rally machine. Our only question is why this package wasn't on the options list for the 308? [MAT Project Page] (Thanks Ed)

Israel Not Down With Nazi Johns, Un-invites Mosley

Formula 1 boss Max Mosley, who as we remember, was involved in this teensy-tiny controversy has been un-invited by Israel to participate in a little discussion on the future of racing in the Holy Land. Galed Majadle, the minister for science, culture and sport has now withdrawn his invitation to Mosley he randomly decided to extend to him after meeting him during a visit to the World Rally Championship event in Jordan. Sorry, Max, no dreidel for you. Guess you'll have to create some positive spin somewhere else. (Hat tip to PhkMark!) [Autosport]

FIA Announces 'Everyrace' Anti-Racism Campaign

In what has to be the biggest coincidence or worst timing of the year, La Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, also known as the FIA, which is also known as the Association of Nazi Hooker Sex Parties, International, has launched the Everyrace, an anti-racism campaign. In all reality, this campaign is result of real-life shenanigans not involving Nazis or hookers, but rather racer Lewis Hamilton, who was on the wrong end of some backwards fans in Barcelona. At one point a group of fans even adorned black face paint and wore shirts bearing the words "Hamilton's Family." Max Mosley had something to say about the matter, as well. More »

Max Mosley Death Watch #3: The Harder You Hit Him, The More He Wants To Stay

This whole "Max Mosley Death Watch" thing might be around longer than we expected. So, Mosley is a freak, Bahrain didn't want him to come to their race, Mosley doesn't care, FIA orgs call for his resignation, but he's still got Bernie in his corner. And now we find out, from a "friend" of Mosley, that "the more people want him to go, the more he will be determined not to." Great. More »

Max Mosley Death Watch #2: ADAC, KNAF Demand Resignation

It's been a rough one for Max Mosley this week, though Mosley likes it that way, usually. The FIA president, now infamous for his alleged Nazi-stlye sex orgy, has rejected calls for his dismissal, despite automakers and the Royal Family of Bahrain expressing their serious concerns. Though Bernie Ecclestone stands by Mosley for now, things have taken an even worse turn with two major European organizations calling for his removal. More »

Max Mosley Apologizes, Isn't Going Anywhere

Up until now, FIA president Max Mosley has been quiet about the Nazi-style orgy matter, even as Bahrain said they didn't want him. There's a long statement but the gist of it is that he's sorry that this whole thing was made public, that there was no Nazi connotation to any of it (really?) and that he's going to go after those who attacked him. We guess his point is that dressing up like SS officers and screaming in German during sex should not be perceived as anything related to Nazism. The statement below the jump: More »

Bernie Ecclestone Defends Mosley In Nazi-Style Orgy Scandal

Though participation in a Nazi-style sex orgy would normally cost someone their job, F1 Chief Bernie Ecclestone is standing by his man, FIA president Max Mosley. The claims of Mosley participating in simulated Nazi-style death camp sex with prostitutes are supported with video, though it appears that's not full confirmation. According to Mr. Ecclestone, "I find it difficult to believe. It's his business but it sounds to me like a set up. Has he in any way damaged F1? No." On the first part, we wonder how one sets someone up for that sort of sex if someone doesn't like that kind of thing. On the second part, that's probably a truer assessment of F1 than Ecclestone intended. More »

F1 Boss Max Mosley Caught With Five Hookers In Nazi Orgy Video Scandal

FIA President Max Mosley has been caught on film taking part in a Nazi fetish orgy, a British tabloid revealed earlier today. Although we initially thought it was the world's zaniest April Fool's joke, we were wrong. Sick and wrong. During the five-hour orgy video, which the tabloid also has in possession (and which we have a quick clip from up top) Mosley both dominated and submitted to the five hookers, who dressed both as Nazis and concentration camp prisoners. The 67-year-old, who has been married for 48 years, was at one point whipped so hard that the orgy had to be halted while a bandage was applied to stop his bleeding.
