...there is one proposal that teams are not prepared to accept: the FIA's suggestion that all cars use an identical engine built by a single manufacturer. The idea, backed by FIA President Max Mosley, has drawn fierce criticism, with Ferrari arguing that it would undermine the sport's "raison d'être, based principally on competition and technological development." If it happens, Ferrari and other big teams say they would consider abandoning Formula One. Perhaps, as has been suggested in the past, a few big teams might even set up rival races.

Now when celebrities sue for invasion of privacy, their cases will...
...Mosley, already a multimillionaire, monetary compensation will do little to repair his personal life. As he testified last week, the scandal has been "totally devastating" to his wife of 48 years and "humiliating" for his two sons. "He is hardly exaggerating when he says that his life was ruined," Justice Eady wrote in his decision. Despite Mosley's fantasies involving canes, whips and spankings, a shattered family life could prove to be the pain that lasts the longest...
