F1 News: Max Mosley admits defeat
Max Mosley has spoken out about the potentially negative effect Lewis Hamilton may have on F1 if he comes to dominate F1 as Michael Schumacher did in the past.
In which case, Max Mosley is admitting that the many reforms that have been brought into F1 over the past ten years in the name of ‘leveling the playing field’ - such as alterations to the points system, the various qualify changes and numerous technical changes - have failed.
And it suggests that Max Mosley has little faith in the measures coming in the near future - such as the standard ECU and the engine freeze.
Granted, many of these reforms are as much about cutting F1’s escalating costs as curbing any one driver’s dominance, but considering the fact that the powers-that-be have had so long to deal with a driver or team monopolising the sport, one would have thought they would have got it right by now, or at least be well on their way.
Max Mosley, who has spent a very long time in motor racing politics and is himself the son of a politician, should know that when a politician admits to failure, it is time for him to go.
Certainly, Jackie Stewart would think so.
