Mosley has apologised to motorsport's world governing body for potential embarrassment caused over the matter and calls have been made for the 67-year-old to step down since the allegations appeared in a Sunday newspaper - including from former world champion Jody Scheckter.

However, Mosley maintains he has received "a very large number of messages of sympathy and support from those within the FIA and the motor sport and motoring communities generally", and - for that reason - he insists he will not resign from a post he has held since 1993.

In a letter to all the presidents of the national FIA clubs, all members of the FIA Senate, the World Motor Sport Council and the World Council for Mobility and the Automobile, Mosley is adamant he will ride the storm.

Within the messages of support, it has been suggested to Mosley his "private life is not relevant to my work and that I should continue in my role".

In the letter, he added: "I am grateful, and with your support I intend to follow this advice.

"I shall now devote some time to those responsible for putting this into the public domain.

"But, above all, I need to repair the damage to my immediate family who are the innocent and unsuspecting victims of this deliberate and calculated personal attack.

"You can, however, be certain that I will not allow any of this to impede my commitment to the work of the FIA."

Mosley claims the allegations are part of a "covert investigation" to discredit him, and it is now his intention to pursue the matter through the courts.
