Teams distance themselves from Mosley
Posted by Christine Blachford on
This is F1Minute for the 3rd April.
The fallout from the Mosley scandal continues, with the Bahraini Crown Prince requesting for Max not to attend the race this weekend. Teams have begun to distance themselves from the President, with BMW, Mercedes, Toyota and Honda all criticising his position and asking the FIA to reconsider his tenure at the top. Mosley responded to BMW and Mercedes, saying he understood their reservations but they should have contacted him first to get the full facts and find out what was true and what was fiction. He has also called an extraordinary meeting of the FIA to discuss the situation, it will most likely take place in Paris, although no date has been confirmed as yet.
Elsewhere, Sebastian Vettel has been talking about his position at Red Bull, saying that he was one of the options for McLaren for 2008. However, after discussing the offer with his Red Bull bosses, he was denied the chance to leave. Although he’s now stuck in the mid-field, Vettel says he is perfectly happy where he is at the moment.
That’s all for today, please join me tomorrow for another F1Minute.
