well, I don't care about his sexual preferences (if the whole story is true)
But one thing:
Why the hell do they always have to videotape that stuff? I mean, this is really not the first time some "private" stuff is uploaded somehow to the internet...
Having a bit of fun if that sort of thing is your cup of tea is one thing but given his status didn't he think video taping it and having the whole German thing was just asking for trouble?
Everyone has skeletons in closet, it should not matter what persons status is or is not, his little bit of fun certainly has not caused harm to his work until some put photos and videos up and everyone starts to act like a critic.
He did at least play with woman, I find much more wrong if he would have played with men, that would been really sick.
Some like playing doctor, some s/m, but when it goes over line of underage and same sex that is where things go sick.
Currently here in Finland we have hullabaloo when our foreign affairs minister sent SMS messages to some ex-pornstar or whatever. OMG!!! Even some politicians are actually seriously demanding resignation.
But all I can laugh at this. F1 is a circus and Max is now the clown.
But same sex is at least PC, whereas paying for sex and being aroused at reenacting the Holocaust is generally slightly less PC and more controversial, especially for someone who's been taking a stand on some racist fans who were pretty mild in comparison.
He might be referring to the media's perceptions of it. I wouldn't care if the video showed him being flagellated by sheep, it's his incompetance running the FIA that's what he should be resigning for.
Even more so because neither the minister nor the pornstar are married... A single man sending text messages to a single woman? Must be the epitome of indecency!
@JTbo
Some people are gay. Get over it.
On topic:
I don't think him having SM-parties affects his ability to lead FIA. Which is a bad thing.
