Mosley u-turns on F1 technology

MOTORSPORT boss Max Mosley has performed a dramatic u-turn in his stance on technology in Formula One.

A month after proposing low-tech rules for 2008, the president of governing body, the FIA, said he wanted to allow cutting-edge technology from that year.

The move will be seen as an attempt to woo the F1 road-car manufacturers in the row over the future of the sport. The manufacturers, who are threatening to set up a rival series, had been dismayed by Mosley’s low-tech ideas.
