So, now that the claims are starting that Mad Max is the subject of witch hunt, I seem to recall some witch hunting in the way that Max got to be president in the first place, so I did some research on Jean-Marie Balestre, the last FIA president. And what do I find? A background in fascism. What it is with these guys and Hitler? C’mon, we are talking about the presidency of a motorsports organization, not NATO.
It is time to start thinking of a new president, so here are some criteria I think the FIA should adopt.
- No candidates that know how to goose step
- No candidates with a predilection for arm bands
- Successful candidates should be able to quote Locke on command
- Successful candidates should be able to clearly demonstrate the relationship between rule stability and costs
- Successful candidate should not have any affiliations with existing teams. Especially if their initials are JT or RD.
- Successful candidate should be able to clearly articulate the idea that a mop top haircut and large sunglasses haven’t been in style in years and that a memo needs to be sent to Bernie immediately.
- Repeat after me: slicks, wide cars and limited aero! Tattoo it on your forehead.
There must be more. Help me by commenting on this one.
