Has Max Mosley lost it?
Part of me says yes he has lost it and another says well....
The 4WD part makes me think he is insane.

The FIA President has often spoken over the past few years about making F1 more environmentally friendly, however, his comments have met by jeers as people question how it could ever happen.
Mosley, though, now has a plan.
Under his proposal F1 teams will switch to eco-friendly 2.2-litre turbocharged V6 engines that would run on biofuel. However, the engines would develop roughly 770 horsepower, around 100 less than the present 2.4-litre V8 engines.
Maximum revs would also be cut by approximately 9,000rpm, which would mean the cars would also create less noise polution.
Mosley also proposes that the engines be made to last for five grand prix weekends and that the cars would be fitted with traction control, four-wheel drive and have a power-boost facility.
The latter, which is used in the A1GP series, would be deployed by drivers in order to allow for easier overtaking.
