Ron Dennis to Take Max Mosley's Position...

No, not really, but it would sure fix a lot of things.

To have Ron Dennis, a man who has fought with the FIA tooth and nail for the duration of his F1 career, as head of the sanctioning body, it would prove to the teams that something significant has changed. It would prove that someone who understands their concerns is running the show.

What? Ron Dennis is a crook. If he's not a crook, he's nothing but a large scale cheat.
OTOH, making Gary Nelson the head of tech in NASCAR was tantamount to taking one the biggest cheats of all time and making him now a cheat chaser.

But, I hardly see Ron Dennis being able to call the shots in a totally unbiased manner. Nowhere in his life has he ever done that.

...and Max 'Spanky' Mosley can? Or Jean Todt the prefered next President.

I think that there will be inherent bias in any potential candidate as they all have 'motorsport' form in order to be considered and that measn they have a bias...

Unless they go for somebody woh is not motorsport based....now that would be interesting..

No, I didn't say that Mosley was to stay. He needs to go, but any replacement shouldn't be like Dennis or anyone named France.

Um, doesn't that pretty much take you out of the running, right there?

Noah,
I suppose you're correct.

Sherwood,

Quite the reverse. Your lack of money would explain the naked greed, the financial 'ben over a barrel' approach, afterall you only have this chance to line your pockets...

At least it would be honest..












And needed to pay for the hookers...spanking party..

I think those in power believe they don't have enough. Same with money. The extremely wealthy are either afraid of losing it or motivated to make even more. A generalization, I admit.

Okay, clearly you guys got what I was getting at: Who would be best to lead F1?

What about throwing Michael Schumacher into the mix?
