Von Spanky vs News of the World

Thank fudge that’s over - any triumph over Rupert Murdoch’s grubby tabloid has to be celebrated: we’re already on the victory champagne. But can we not mention ze Nazi orgy that never was, ever again, please.

Do you think justice was done, or did Von Spanky get away with it? Vote after the jump…

S&M-loving FIA boss awarded £60k in damages

Yes, this isn’t just “Breaking news”, this is “BREAKING NEWS”. Shouty capital letters are fully justified…

Read it and weep: Herr Max von Spanky has won his court case against the snooping hacks at the News of the World. Max was awarded £60,000 in damages - peanuts to him, but he won’t complain - after the High Court ruled that the Sunday tabloid did breach his privacy.

Gott in Himmel, how has Mosley managed to emerge from this scandal smelling of petrol (a nicer smell than roses)? First he wins a vote of confidence from FIA members, now he puts one over on the media. It’s a quite remarkable escape, but not that surprising given his uncanny ability to come out on top, no matter what the circumstances.

Mosley showed no emotion when the ruling was delivered, but you can bet that inside he was chuckling like a demon.

News of the World vs Max von Mosley: the latest news

What’s the German for “My god, this is boring as hell”? Most F1 fans, Grid Crasher included, have read and heard enough about Herr von Mosley and his kinky sex games to last several lifetimes.

But with Mosley’s legal action against the News of the World currently being played out in court, this is a story that still has plenty of flogging in it - particularly if you’re the editor of a News International publication.

What have we learned so far from the trial?
