Mosley not to seek another term as FIA boss: Ecclestone

LONDON - Max Mosley will live up to his promise and not seek another term as president of motorsport’s governing body FIA, Formula One commercial rights boss Bernie Ecclestone has said.

“I have no doubt in my mind, as long as I’ve known Max, he’s always done what he said he would do,” Ecclestone told The Times. “He’s an honourable person.”

Mosley said he will step down in October after a bitter row between FIA and the eight teams represented in the rival Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) ended last month.

However, the affair is still simmering and questions have been raised whether Mosley would after all seek a fifth term as FIA boss, which would most likely lead to a split with the FOTA teams.
