Formula 1: Peace on Shaky Ground as Moseley Cries Foul

Max Mosely is apparently aghast that the Formula One Teams Association have made “deliberate attempts” to mislead people and the media concerning the terms of the agreement that was agreed upon in the last meeting with the FOTA, the FIA, and the World Motor Sport Council.

“I was astonished to learn that FOTA has been briefing the press that Mr Boeri has taken charge of Formula One, something which you know is completely untrue,” said Mosely, in a letter addressed to FOTA chairman Luca di Montezemolo. “That I had been forced out of office, also false; and, apparently, that I would have no role in the FIA after October, something which is plain nonsense, if only because of the FIA statutes.

“Given your and FOTA’s deliberate attempt to mislead the media, I now consider my options open. At least until October, I am president of the FIA with the full authority of that office. After that it is the FIA member clubs, not you or FOTA, who will decide on the future leadership of the FIA.”

Moseley asked for a retraction from FOTA prior to its June 25th press conference, but FOTA made no such retraction.
