Mosley is a retard on a powertrip. I know putting Mosley in their camp is insulting to retarded folks, but what else could he be?
What’s going on in the UK/Europe that the moron is still in his position?

Seems like it’s “stupid comment week” this week, Lauda on Alonso in an ITV interview:
“This is not normal education. Maybe in Spain they don’t educate themselves in these villages where he comes from, but all these things I do not understand.”

Best quote of the day I’ve seen so far is Bernie Ecclestone on how Hamilton’s ethnicity can boost the sport’s popularity: “It is a pity he is not Jewish as well, because then we would have a much bigger audience then. Or Muslim actually because there are more Muslims.”

Just read that, it’s brilliant.
Another good one is Massa at at yesterday’s press conference, there had been some question to Alonso and Hamilton about how they got along etc. and then Massa chimes in :
Q: (Flavio Gomes – Warm Up) You are two young guys, very talented and you could be the best friends in the world, in an ideal world, but you are almost enemies and from a human point of view do you think Formula One, because of this, is a waste of time?
Alonso: I didn’t understand the question. (laughter)
Q: (Flavio Gomes – Warm Up) You are two young guys, drivers, talented, everything else, but you are almost enemies…
Massa: No, you can see they are best friends…

I somewhat agree with Lauda. I think Alonso’s behavior and the statements of the Spanish Motorsport fellow invites foolish/emotional remarks. If the comments attributed to him are indeed true, he, like Max Moronsly, should be fired/sacked, or otherwise thrown under the bus.
