Mosley does not want to disappear from the camera’s lens

Max Mosley stated this weekend that he would probably not be ready to retire as president of the FIA during the next elections in October 2009.

The 67-year-old Briton, who in 2004 refused to resign from his position, told The Times newspaper that he still saw a certain amount of work to be done in his role as FIA director.

Mosley, despite the controversy surrounding his four terms as FIA president, insists that he wants to steer the sport towards renewable energy (energy recovery) with, why not, a new engine in this direction for 2013.

He refuses to officially announce his intentions beyond the end of 2009, but is certain that nothing and no one should prevent him from completing his current term.

« However, I remain relatively sane. I will not disappear until October 2009; beyond that date, I think very, very carefully, » he said.

« It’s a sport that works better with a person capable of making a decision. »

Mosley also specified that he has no interest in the demands for him to resign from his current role.

« I love reading blogs when they are a bit ‘anti-Mosley,’ they are very entertaining. »

« But my retirement simply cannot escape from this kind of talk! » Concluded Max Mosley, who became president of the FIA in 1993.
