Max Mosley's Son Found Dead!!!!!!!!

A son of world auto racing boss Max Mosley has been found dead in his London home, police and the racing federation said Wednesday.

The body of 39-year-old Alexander Mosley was found in his west London apartment Tuesday afternoon.

This is very sad news and I really feel very bad for Mr. Mosley :(((

He died of a suspected drug overdose, a London police official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the force was not authorized to disclose details.

Max Mosley has been the president of the FIA, the international automobile federation which governs Formula One racing, since 1993.

Mosley called off plans to travel to this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

Max Mosley and his wife, Jean, have another son, 37-year-old Patrick.

New Budget By Max Mosley

FIA president Max Mosley will unveil a revised budget cap. He announced a voluntary cap of £30million would be introduced from next season. The option would be a freedom to spend, but only operate within the existing technical constraints, or work with the budget, but with the prospect of being technically innovative.

Mosley is convinced all teams will agree to the new cap figure.

Mclaren Mercedes Suspended

Mclaren Mercedes had a meeting with the World Motor Sport council on Wednesday for the lie-gate scandal which had taken place in Australia. The FIA’s World Motor Sport Council has handed McLaren a three race ban. This ban has been brought because FIA feels Mclaren Mercedes has brought the sport into disrepute.


Martin Whitmarsh said, “I was also pleased to be able to assure the FIA World Motor Sport Council members that we had taken appropriate action with a view to ensuring that such mistakes do not occur again."

Mclaren Try To Please FIA

McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh is trying to please FIA by adopting a pro-active philosophy. McLaren were seen to be making all the right moves and noises in Bahrain over the weekend. They have a meeting with World Motor Sport Council in Paris this Wednesday over the lie-gate scandal in Australia. Richard Lapthorne will officially take up the role of McLaren Group chairman from Ron Dennis from 1st June.

Whitmarsh, who has already thrown himself on the mercy of the World Council by writing a letter of unreserved apology for his team's deceit.

Timothy Murnane, Mclaren's company lawyer, will accompany Whitmarsh although he is only acting in an observational capacity.

McLaren are still in breach of article 151c of the International Sporting Code, relating to fraudulent conduct or act prejudicial to the sport.

Well I really dont know if luck will favor the Mclaren Mercedes Team. And there is also a possibility that the team will be disqualified from the Formula 1 2009 Season. Lets hope for the best of the team because it would be very shameful is a top team in the Formula 1 getsinto trouble with the FIA.

Jarno Trulli Happy With FIA Decision

Jarno Trulli has applauded the FIA for their decision. The team face the World Motor Sport Council in Paris on April 29. This is for the charges of disrepute for the incident at Australian Grand Prix.

As for Toyota driver Trulli, he believes motor sport's world governing body deserve credit for the stance taken.

FIA favors Brawn GP, Toyota, Williams!!!!!

FIA International Court pf Appeal has said that Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams comply with the applicable regulations.
During an eight-hour hearing on Tuesday, Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull and BMW Sauber challenged the three teams in front of five ICA judges, attempting to overturn the FIA's initial ruling that the design of the diffuser used by Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams was legal.
The ruling means the teams keep the points they have won in the two races.
Although Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull and BMW Sauber argued fervently against the design, the judges have sided with the FIA and the stewards who had already determined the part was legal.

Now the other teams have to work accordingly so that they can challenge these strong teams.
Well this will definitely bring some excitement in the Formula 2009 season.
Lets see what more excitement and controversies lie in the future of Formula1.
