It may be two weeks after the event, but I am still a bit stunned that Max Mosley is still president of motorsport's governing body, the FIA.
In the run-up to the vote in France, Mosley was a bit like Hillary Clinton - doomed to failure and yet refusing to throw in the towel when it seemed the right thing to do. After his amazing victory at the FIA council he's more like Hillary's husband, Bill - the comeback kid. How on earth did he manage to overturn the odds and stay on as president?
A large part of it seems to be the odd form of democracy the FIA practises. The organisation is made up of national clubs, but the size of each of them is not reflected in the amount of votes it wields. So the 103 votes cast for Mosley reflected only five per cent of the ordinary membership. The American Automobile Association and its Canadian counterpart represent 60 per cent of the membership but had just a solitary vote each.
Of course all of the 170 delegates were men. I can't help but think that had to be a huge advantage for Mosley. I suspect women may well have taken a much dimmer view of his actions with a gaggle of prostitutes and not have accepted it was purely a private matter among consenting adults.
Of course Mosley's arguments are nonsense and his behaviour both before and after the vote show this. He has become a pariah; something that became blatantly obvious when Bernie Ecclestone said his position was untenable.
It's led to the real possibility that Formula One may look to break away from the FIA. The two men, friends for decades, are locked in a 'cold war' as the two sides argue over a new agreement for the running of the sport. The tension isn't helped by the cancellation of a meeting between the two this week.
