Sir Jackie also said Max should go, but the ruling body "wouldn't have the courage" to vote him out. They basically voted 2 to 1 in favor of letting him stay. Max says he'll remain in a lame duck role, not attending events and letting the two deputy presidents handle day-today duties. Stewart is a wise man.

ADAC (the German auto group-Europe's largest) has said they are suspending their relationship with the FIA until Max is gone. Not good news. AAA is also considering doing the same thing.

Meanwhile, there's a great season underway but it is getting overshadowed by Mosley and his dress-up party.
