    Max Mosley, FIA PresidentFIA president Max Mosley has dropped a firm hint that he may be convinced to stay on for another term in charge of motor racing's governing body.

    In the wake of the scandal surrounding his private life last year, Mosley revealed that he fully intended to step down when his current term comes to end in October.

    But ahead of a deadline he has set himself of June to make his mind up about whether to stand for a fifth time, Mosley has now suggested that such is the support he is receiving within the FIA to carry on, that he would be silly to walk away.

    "When a lot of people say 'you should stay', it would be sort of churlish not to," Mosley told media during a lunch in London on Wednesday.

    "At the moment they are saying that and it's very flattering. I'm conscious that a decision has to be made, probably at the meeting of the FIA World Council at the end of June."

    Mosley added that he expected up to seven candidates to enter the race to be the new FIA president, although rubbished recent speculation in the Scottish media suggesting that the former Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive Sir Fred Goodwin was in the running.

    "Last week Sir Fred called me to say it was all nonsense. He was obviously rather embarrassed," Mosley said.

    "The interesting thing is where it (the rumours) could have come from. It has to be someone with some kind of connection to F1. He's got to have some connection with Scotland.

    "He's got to have no understanding of how F1 or the FIA work, and he has to be unusually stupid. There's at least one person who ticks all those boxes."


    WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING THEY MAD MAX BACK????? AND WHY AREN'T THEY SEEKING MENTAL HELP!!!!

    Anyway, un-friggin believable. I *almost* understood his big stick over these weenies last year, but for them to be still supporting this lunatic is incredible.

    I have a really bad feeling he's not leaving until they nail the lid down unfortunately.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Mosley has packed the FIA with his cronies... and that is why he is being asked to stay... its stuff like this that makes me wish F-1 and the FIA would just come crumbling down. who needs all these idiots!!! all they do is siphon off the money ...

    As for Jackie Stewart being an idiot??? WTF!!!!!!! he is one of the only people who has been in racing for his whole life, and done it all... I dont know anybody who has dealt with Stewart who has not been impressed. Much the opposite feeling than when people are dealing with Max and Bernie!!!!
