Bernie Ecclestone eager to bring Max Mosley back to FIA
The Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone is eager to see Max Mosley once again tied up with Formula One but now in a new role.
Mosley is the former FIA president and one of the closest friends of Ecclestone. The two have stood very close together to make the F1 empire as glorious as it is today. However, last year Mosley opted not to partake for the 2011 Presidential election of
the sport and backed off for the current President, Jean Todt.
Now as his old companion, Ecclestone talked to the media earlier this week he told that he is keen to see the asset of Formula One back once again but this time under some new and of course equally significant role.
The supremo very lucidly told that he never wanted him to leave the sport and now he is adamant to get his old partner back as soon as he can.
For many Ecclestone’s statement has turned out to be very suspicious owing to some headlines that caught attention earlier this month. It was reputed by some of the websites that Mosley was not very happy with the amount of power exercised by Todt in FIA
and hence he is planning a coup. Though the news was completely dismissed by both Ecclestone as well as Mosley, yet everyone remained suspicious about why such a rumour ever took birth.
Now, the recent statement by Ecclestone has further added fuel to the little fire that started a couple of weeks back.
The rumour of coup spread earlier further reported that such a statement was given by Mosley due to the fact that the top management of FIA has a lot of disagreements regarding the future direction of the sport. Also, several changes that are being made
in the laws of FIA to turn it more democratic are not being encouraged by Mosley.
However, though the news was completely rubbished by Ecclestone yet he has now said, "We could go back to the FIA and FISA. Max could be president of the FIA looking after Formula One and Jean could be president of FISA running the sporting side."
Finally, answering about how the teams are expected to react if such a change takes place, the 80-year-old told, "I don't think the teams would mind. If you ask anyone now, if Max came back as president of the FIA would they complain? I think they'd say
no.”
