Bernie Ecclestone Puts His Foot Down
What a palaver, sport isn't about sport anymore it's about the cavorting private lives of the great and the good. We brought Ronaldo's side-splitting antics with transvestites to your attention, but now there's the head of world motorsport Max Mosley gallivanting in a Nazi-sex orgy. He's tried to get a film showing him and several ladies of the night re-enacting a Nazi concentration camp scene, banned in France but they said they don't have jurisdiction over Britain.
Mosley has launched a claim against the News of the World who he says have illegally invaded his privacy by getting their mitts on this juicy material, yet he still denies the Nazi angle. Mosley is getting frozen out by all and sundry within F1 and Bernie Ecclestone is putting on the thumb screws too by petitioning all the team to call for Mosley's resignation. Now former F1 world champion Sir Jackie Stewart has added to the list of dissenters, saying that big sponsors aren't pleased. He said:
"He's gone beyond anything they would tolerate. Therefore it's very difficult to see how he could stay under these circumstances. I think it's going to be very difficult commercially for the companies involved in Formula One to carry that and the motor clubs to carry it. I think that's quite serious."
