Mosley, 68, was been under pressure since lurid allegations about his private life were published two months ago but has refused to stand down.

A number of the world's leading automobile clubs sent a letter to Mosley this week imploring him to resign, and now Formula One's commercial rights holder, Ecclestone, has followed suit and told the Daily Telegraph: "He should stand down out of responsibility for the institution he represents, including F1."

He added: "Max is a strong man. Once he makes a decision he sticks to it. He feels that there is still important work to do at the FIA.

"The last thing most people involved in the sport, including the clubs, would want to see is Max in a position where he could be forced to stand down.

"I don't want to see that. I've been a friend of Max for 40 years. I would hate to see him go in this way after all he has done for the sport.

"But in my view there is a way to accomplish this and retire at the end of the year at the FIA general assembly in November. I would be happy to sit at his side to help him to achieve that."
