It's believed the meeting he's called is to try and gain their backing, but they've been pretty vocal on their thoughts. Well, BMW and Mercedes are German manufacturers, after all.

From www.planetf1.comAs if this 'episode' wasn't already damaging enough for F1, Max Mosley has reportedly blamed McLaren-Mercedes for a recent tabloid article relating to his alleged extra-curricular experiences, saying the team set him up. Mosley has a tension-fraught history with the McLaren team, having slapped them with a £50million fine for last year's Stepneygate scandal in what some felt was his own personal vendetta against team boss Ron Dennis. 'Mosley has confided to friends he believes he may have been the victim of a plot by McLaren-Mercedes, who were fined £50million last year for 'spying' on Ferrari, to destroy his career,' reports the Daily Mail. The newspaper went on to say that Mosley is determined to prove that he was set-up, which is why he has called an Extraordinary Meeting of the FIA. However, it's not just Mosley who (allegedly) reckons he was set-up. Bernie Ecclestone's immediate reaction after hearing the news was to say: "I find it difficult to believe. It's his business but it sounds to me like a set-up." More telling is that BMW team boss Mario Theissen, who after five days to thinking about it, said on Friday that it did appear as if was entrapment. "What shouldn't be neglected is it certainly looks like a trap," he said. "And that is something which in our view is not acceptable."

This is getting ridiculous. How can Ron Dennis be blamed for Max Mosley being involved in kinky Nazi sex games? I suppose if Mosley walked out of his front door and a pigoen shat on his head, then that would be Big Ron's fault as well.

I think the entrapment refers to the actions of the newspaper. It would not be the first time.

If he had been in a bar having a few bevvies and some good looking young female gave him the glad eye , and they ended up in her room - then you could see that being a set-up . But how do you set someone up to drop their drawers and bend over a table while some bird in a Nazi uniform gets stuck into your bare arse with a whip . I mean it's not your everyday scenario is it ?

I mean it's not your everyday scenario is it ? Perhaps not where we come from. Just theorising here. Lets suppose he is regularly given to that behaviour. Word gets out into the providers of such services and gets to the sleazemongers in the press, then a set-up occurs. Possible?

Everything is Mclarens fault, and Mosley's latest crap is proof of it.
The FIArrari will find Mclaren guilty of Ecclestone being a shortarsed wiggy twat as well.
The BSPA look quite professional in comparison.

Pressure mounts: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7330324.stmMosley is President of the FIA, and therefore it’s a bit like overthrowing the monarchy getting him out of office. I think it’s going to take a substantial vote against him to do that, if he doesn’t resign – and he’s showing no signs of doing so yet. Aside from Mosley, the FIA consists of one deputy President, Italian Marco Piccinini, and seven Vice Presidents. I imagine if the majority put forward a vote of no confidence Mosley could be out on his ear, and no doubt Bernie will have a say. But will it go that far, or will he resign first? Mosley’s term ends in 2009, when there would be another election. If, by any remote chance, he were still in office and were to be re-elected, he could only serve one more term of four years, so the latest it’s possible to see him in the sport is 2013.

Possible? Yes, I see what you're saying, but he has a wife, and no-one forced him to do what he did. The set-up could only be applicable to him being caught, not his actions - they were all his own, and no-one else's.

Mosley is just being incredibly stupid now. The News of the World is always running stories like this. The most common - and sensible - reaction is just to admit guilt, beg forgiveness and get on with your life. A few - and it looks like Mosley intends to be among this few - feign moral outrage and vow to bring the paper to its knees. None have succeeded in achieving anything other than making themselves look worse and worse.

The latest from Planet F1:
Speculation is rife in the Bahrain paddock that the News of the World is preparing to publish more allegations against Max Mosley.
While the FIA President has threatened to sue the newspaper after they claimed in last Sunday's edition that he was caught in a sordid sex orgy, it is being suggested that more lurid allegations could be made this weekend.
Mosley may not be in Bahrain, but the position (and alleged positions) of the FIA President remains the hot topic of debate. All eyes will be on the News of the World on Sunday morning in the hours before the grand prix.
Mosley has so far resisted calls for his resignation, but his been further undermined by confirmation from the Dutch motorsport federation that they will demand his removal at an extraordinary general assembly hearing of the FIA to be held in Paris. Reports that the meeting will cost around £1m in hotel and transport bills - money which could of course be spent on more worthy causes - hasn't endeared Mosley to anyone either.
