Crikey, did he use up his entire diplomacy quota over the Mosley affair? I can see his point, but a little more tact wouldn't go amiss, unless he's courting controversy to keep the interest in F1 now the season is almost over.

The trouble is, I wouldn't trust what the tabloid press reports. It would interesting to see the context in which this was said, as undoubtedly he's been misquoted.

I'm no great defender of the old git, after all who hasn't a relative at the age of 77 who says totally inappropriate things because they are either senile or think they can get away with it because of their age!! BUT, it's not just the tabloid press here, it's the Brazilian tabloid press who, undoubtedly, will have taken it out of context, misquoted and lost the interview in translation...... None of the above really helps and, in isolation, the comment isn't that offensive. The main problem is that it becomes tied into the whole 'Hitler had a good work ethic' scandal from earlier in the year  Pip |

I think Nazis had great logos and uniforms, but that doesn't mean I believe in anything they stood for...  |
