Mosley invite for F1 aces
Drivers asked to attend Cannes meeting

(GMM) After snubbing a planned meeting at Silverstone, Max Mosley said he would discuss safety with the F1 drivers in France next month.

The FIA president invited every super license holder to Cannes, in the south of France, on August 1 -- the first day of a three week break after the Hungarian grand prix.

Max called off his grand prix drivers' association appearance on Friday after claiming David Coulthard's comments to the press threatened to turn it into a 'circus.'

Defending the France location, Mosley - who said at least half of all drivers must attend or the meeting would be called off - told them to just get 'in (their) jet.'

Coulthard, a GPDA director, bristled at Max's idea of bring an entire 'group to one man.'

''But that's what he's offered,'' said the Scot. ''Time will tell whether we can get half (the drivers) there.''
