The FIA are said to be in discussions regarding the fate of Max Mosey, according to the BBC. On a day when almost all the F1 manufacturers publicly denounced the actions of Max Mosely, it is looking increasingly likely that the British head will lose his job. Toyota were the first manufacturer to release a statement, quickly followed by the German manufacturers BMW and Mercedes.

F1 personality Paul Stoddart claims that there is no option now but for Mosely to resign from his unpaid position. "Mosley is actually dragging the FIA down into the gutter and until he goes it will have no credibility" said the Australian.

Already we're seeing some pretty heavy off-track drama; is this precedent here to stay in Formula One?

Max Mosely has been advised not to travel to this weekend's Grand Prix in Bahrain amid the scandal that has seen a video of him with five prostitutes released onto the internet. It would seem that Bernie Ecclestone advised his friend Mosely to stay away from the Grand Prix so as not to upset the Bahraini Royal Family or divert publicity away from events on the track.
Meanwhile there have predictably been calls for his resignation, most notably from former F1 driver Jody Scheckter. Who else thinks that It was Ron Dennis who took the video?
