That is exactly my point, Cozzy - a man's morality does have a direct bearing on the performance of his job. I know it's an old fashioned notion but that doesn't make it wrong. Examples of how things can go wrong when we appoint people to important positions regardless of their private lives (and so their morality) are all around us and form a major source of news for the gutter press these days. Being so broad-minded and desperate not to appear out of date, we try to to avoid the obvious - that, if a man is selfish, depraved, egotistical, interested in the humiliation of others, he will be the same man subject to the same lusts when at his desk in the office. This applies to Max and is almost certainly the root cause of his increasingly insane handling of the FIA since he shrugged off Bernie's influence.
None of us is perfect, that goes without saying. But, when a man admits that, not only has he been shown to be subject to lusts that require him to disregard the interests of others, but also that he has carried on these pursuits for forty years, one has to doubt his suitability for any position of prominence. The man should go for his incompetent governance of F1, yes, but his morality remains just as good a reason for his departure.
Incidentally, this is the beginning of a long debate that has nothing to do with F1 and everything to do with our personal beliefs. Dare we risk it?
