This is the last thing Formula-1 racing needs, more scandals. But alas, it was not to be true, and this time it’s really a doozie.
It seems F1 boss Max Mosley was caught in a bizarre sex scandal. Footage of the F1 supremo surfaced that clearly shows Mosley in a room with a bunch of prostitutes. This is where it gets bad though, Mosley is shown whipping five young women dressed in World War II-era concentration camp uniforms while shouting at them in German. Mosley then takes a turn as a “prisoner” and is whipped until he bleeds in the video.
Now word is out that Mosley’s father, Oswald Mosley, was founder of the British Union of Fascists and leader of the infamous “Black Shirts”. The Black Shirts were a pro-Nazi British party in England during the 1930s. They had links directly with Hitler himself who is said to have been fond of Mosley’s father.
The video was uncovered by the British newspaper News of the World, who then posted it on their website. It caused an uproar within the F1 community, as it was clearly of racist content, something that F1 has been trying to eradicate in their sport. Many have already called for his resignation, including F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart. Toyota Motorsport, Honda Racing , BMW and Mercedes-Benz have also all issued calls for action by the FIA.
There is a lot more info and details (rather disturbing details) so be warned. The link to their site is posted below. Hopefully the sport of Formula-1 can overcome this embarrassment rather quickly.
Above: I for one, agree with Sir Jackie Stewart, he should be fired immediately….
