Stewart: Mosley should stand down

Max Mosley may have emerged victorious from his day in court, but that has not prevented renewed calls for him to resign as president of motorsport's world governing body, the FIA.

Mosley was awarded a record £60,000 compensation after winning his privacy action against the News of the World.

It was Mosley's second triumph in the space of 52 days as he also won a vote of confidence on June 3 to remain in office, but former Formula One world champion Sir Jackie Stewart believes he should still resign, saying: "Max should now step down and cut out of it totally."

He added: "His stewardship of the FIA simply cannot be undertaken in its fullest form because of what has occurred. That's straightforward.

"But the biggest downside is the FIA themselves have come out of this very badly. The fact he does not resign puts a shadow over the FIA.

"They should have more knowledge of life than to allow this to continue, and that is what is showing up negatively against them."
