Mosley: Ferrari Most Important Team In F1

Ralf S. said

"Maybe we should admire Mosely, because he at leasts admits his father was a fascist... whereas plenty of people on here who slate him for that, are trotting out attitudes that seem to reveal something darker and much more sinister than anything either Mosely (Jnr or Snr) ever managed."


Could you perhaps clarify this a little for us. If its me you are aiming at....i confess to feeling quite excited at being described as 'darker and much more sinister than anything Mosley junior or Senior ever managed '...Its certainly a first! Will it make me more attractive to women perhaps..the villain in films is always plastered in beautiful women. Tell us more!

(thinks..if your dad was head of a party he founded called the British Union of Fascists..I suppose you would have to admit that he might indeed be one of them..its not a big intellectual leap..even for Max)

You just need to invest in some tight, black polo-necked shirts and slick your hair back, you'll be irresistable to the ladies then! (unless you have moobs)

Thanks Pud..No sooner said than done..fighting them off already

BMW...from Birmingham..probably....Red Bull....Yorkshire obviously..Renault...Scottish maybe..Spyker....Geordies? Toro Rosso..South Yorkshire... Toyota..thats easy...Derby,,,..Honda..Swindon?

Drat..Max is right!!!! F1 is a British Anti Ferrari conspiracy isn't it.

Here you go:

McLaren - Woking (GB)
Williams - Grove (GB)
Renault - Enstone (GB)
Honda - Brackley (GB)
Red Bull - Milton Keynes (GB)
Spyker - Silverstone (You get the idea...)

The minority of teams are not based in GB:

BMW - Hinwil (Switzerland) and a facility near Munich (Germany)
Ferrari - Maranello (Italy)
Toro Rosso - Faenza (Italy)
Toyota - Cologne (Germany)
Aguri - ? (Japan)

No.. not directing anything at anyone but some comments have come across as being driven by xenophobia, rather being the normal "sporting allegiance" type of banter.

Xenophoebia is an essential element of Fascism.

Racism is an extremer form of Xenophobia.

I think you need charisma to be "plastered in beautiful women" whether you're a villain or not, so I couldn't possibly comment on your own prospects.

So, what you're saying is the 6 out of the 11 teams are based in the UK - hardly a landslide...

Gary, if you can't see it, that's precisely what Mad Max is talking about.

If 6 out of 11 teams involved in a championship were (e.g.) German, it wouldn't be on ITV telly would it?

I think it would. Historically F1 had more 'foreign' teams than British, and it was still on the TV...

I knew that we had a few grammar/spelling Nazis around but i had no idea there are British F1 fascists on AO.

I think we should tone down the political bits in the thread and talk about ...

well

...

how great Ferrari is would be a good start

Ok Super BigFoot almighty - i really like the new F430 Scuderia
