We all know what a load of bunkum the apparent transparency of the FIA election rules are, by now, don’t we.

Equality of political ethos… hmmm?

All hail the “Futurists”?

News this morning from the Guardian that the first “contender” to throw his hat into the ring and say he’ll stand against Mosley is Rally Champion and former MEP Ari Vatanen. Sounds to me like this guy could be good, he has the racing background and the political experience as well.

This could start to get interesting if a few more who appear to have some support, step into the limelight.

I have to admit to not believing anything either side says anymore. The prospect of Flav (The "new" Bernie) and Bernie #1 steering the FOTA ship into battle with with the FIA fleet, forever, is just bonkers. "They know it is the fans that keep the sport going". This fan feels like a total mug tbh. Prediction: Flav will be President of the FIA, oneday. (the future is probably spraytan orange) Sorry :( This is a bit of a landmark for me, really.
