While refusing to reveal his personal opinions on Mosley's alleged behaviour, RFEDA president Carlos Gracia intimated that he would have stepped down had he been implicated in such a scandal.

"We all have a conscience," he remarked. "I know what I would have done, but I can't ask for others to act in the same way."

Despite his seeming disapproval of Mosley's conduct, Gracia revealed that his sporting respect for the FIA president remains very much intact.

"When we chose Mr Mosley (for the FIA presidency), we didn't choose him because of his sexual preferences or his personal life, but because he was the best man for the job," he said.

"That sporting respect is still intact."

Mosley's future will be decided by a secret ballot in an FIA assembly in Paris on June 3.

The assembly brings together 222 national motoring organisations from 130 countries, when the FIA president will argue his case for remaining in charge.

Associations in America, Germany, Holland, Israel and Austria have called for Mosley to resign in light of last month's lurid newspaper report, while Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber last week claimed he had brought the sport into "disrepute".
