Former FIA Chairman Max Mosley has passed away at the age of 81.
A link to his achievements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Mosley
It should be noted that there is a rather ambiguous notice at the top of the Wikipedia biography.
Suffice to say, he inherited the Chair of the FIA when it was in something of a disarray, the previous incumbent, Jean-Marie Balestre could be most kindly described as "eccentric". One of Mosley's greatest achievements was the introduction of the Euro NCAP safety accreditation for new cars, which did much to force the introduction and development of safety features in new cars.
Mosley always felt that he made a mistake in selling the commercial rights of Formula 1 to his long-time friend Bernie Ecclestone, but the genie was released from the bottle.
A man who should be remembered and celebrated for his many achievements.

"A man of little significance"
The orgy with 5 hookers must be one of them. I doubt I'd have the energy for 5 at that age.
Top shagger. RIP.
His lawyers live on...

Mosley was not nice but he was determined and clever. He was a man you would want on your side.
I admired him for the way he handled himself after the hooker thing and he certainly warned the press off doing it to others.
RIP.
Thank goodness you managed to resist the urge to suggest a whip-round in his memory...

Let's not forget the man's politics, including the infamous leaflet that he published in 1961
I, for one, won't mourn his passing.
Well, his upbringing probably didn't help.
He was the son of the Daily Mail's favourite for PM...

That’s not very appropriate, you have to remember back then the world was like this in a lot of the ‘alleged’ civilised west, many many people we revere were part of a systemic racist establishment so to single out one man when he passed is a bit unfairLet's not forget the man's politics, including the infamous leaflet that he published in 1961

A man who defied his detractors in the most public of arenas, both personal and in business - a rare quality.
RIP.
The leaflet already shown, the taking part in racist rally's and associated violence, and the whipping of prostitutes wearing striped pyjamas whilst counting out the lashes in German (which, of course, is not legally in any way Nazi related). Surely there is enough there, no matter what else he has done, to state that he was scum and in no way deserving of an RIP post. Would Hitler have got one for building a good motorway network?
You and others need to respect that this is the G&D.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
This topic can’t survive the G&D restrictions given the nature of the man.
Partly my point.
There is a higher level discussion but again, not for the G&D.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
+1
By that same quarter most think Churchill is a hero, well he was, but also a massive racist.. are we going to say Churchill is not deserving of any praise for the good he did.. no
Oh and Hitler built awesome motorways .. but every genius has his weakness… a genocidal maniac, trying to dominate the world and exterminate the Jews and anyone else he didn’t like is a pretty big detractor .. I’ll give you that one
