Max Mosley Quotations

We very much hope that all the current participants will ... submit their entries in due time.

What we will do is publish the 2008 regulations and there will be a Formula One World Championship in 2008,

I think it is the probably the biggest package of changes (Formula One has ever seen),

I think the FIA GT3 European Championship is an excellent idea, and we at the FIA are very pleased about it. It fills a gap in the market and it provides the possibility of very good and very entertaining racing for competitors and drivers who might otherwise be left out in the ever more professional top end of GT racing. So we are delighted.

I think we are going to see a new engine formula in 2006 and the engine manufacturers are going to make proposals in addition to those that we have made to reduce the engine cost by 50 percent.

It is not too different from the Nissan World Series or the GP2 championship.

Otherwise it would have been like having them going around with flamethrowers coming out of the back.

People are really interested in the human contest but obviously in very high performance machines. If you have too much technology and not enough driver, the public will start to lose interest.

There are three, perhaps even four people who are very well known -- I'll leave it to you to guess the names -- who want to join F1, but who are currently unable to because of the costs involved. If we manage to reduce the costs, to 100 to120 million dollars, for a reasonable budget, they will come.

What's good is it's not like Ferrari or anybody are miles in front of everybody. It's obviously super-competitive.

is still a vast amount compared to any other form of motor racing.

(The rule) should be there. Otherwise it would have been like having them going around with flamethrowers coming out of the back.

It would be very difficult to enlarge the facilities and we would also have to look carefully at the safety issue. The number is unlikely to increase.

Any evidence of team orders will be put in front of stewards, and I mean any evidence,

ask the public what they want -- probably through the television companies, but that's a matter for Bernie. I think he would prefer to change but I think he's quite easy about it.

There is the possibility that the (entry list) might be oversubscribed.

At least the public will know who is the fastest driver as the times will appear on a board.

Everybody must realise that formula one is not a money-spending contest,

It was a great start. It's probably the most promising start to a season we've had actually.

The World Motor Sport Council has decided to adjourn discussion of penalty to an extraordinary meeting, when it will be seen what steps have been taken to compensate the fans,

Once the entries have closed, the participants in the 2008 championship will be known, enabling the FIA and those teams to use the three months from March 31 to June 30 for the agreement of any adjustments to the regulations. Naturally, discussions on the fine-tuning of the 2008 regulations will involve only those who intend to participate in the championship.

The FIA very much hopes that all the teams and manufacturers competing in this year's championship will also enter for 2008.

If people don't go and watch it (Formula One), it doesn't matter how cutting-edge it is. It will fail,

In the automotive world the potential for intelligent transport systems is almost unlimited and eventually technology will help alleviate the major problems of congestion and safety. Technology is also playing an increasingly important role in motor sport. The only way that the FIA can stay at the forefront of these issues is to have access to cutting-edge technology and leading expertise in the electronics and information technology fields, ... AMD is clearly at the leading-edge of technology and very well positioned to provide the type of support we need. We look forward to working directly with AMD's Henri Richard as he takes on the new role of FIA Technology Special Advisor.

I certainly couldn't say never but it would take quite a bit of adjustment to what we've got at the moment. I can't see it for 2008.

In a democracy, the public should be asked how much security and how much privacy they want for themselves.

Defend yourselves! If people don't defend their rights, they lose them.

There's something seriously wrong with Google. Technologically, they're brilliant, sensational. But morally, its management is completely adolescent. The company is so big and so arrogant, they do whatever they like, they think they are above the law.

The nature of search engines is that they can make a major issue out of something small that no person would otherwise be able to find.

I feel my task is done. I feel a sense of satisfaction, ... It's the moment and I seized it.

The idea could give rise to a commercially successful series, which might stand out from the other one-make series.

And also what steps have been taken by the Michelin teams to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. The final decision will then be made after that.
