Jackie Stewart: “Mosley should resign in name of ‘good judgment & taste’”

Honda Racing F1


Three-time F1 world champion Sir Jackie Stewart ramps up the pressure on disgraced FIA President Max Mosley to step down from his all-powerful post, insisting his long-time nemesis should resign in the name of ‘good judgment and taste’.

Max Mosley is no longer fit to serve in the most powerful post in international motor racing - that is the view of Sir Jackie Stewart, who has re-iterated his belief that an executive needs to be brought in from outside Formula 1 to lead the sport into the future.

The three-time F1 world champion and embattled FIA President have long been adversaries, rarely seeing eye-to-eye on matters of importance within the top flight. Stewart said that in his view the News of the World-exposed sex scandal enveloping both Mosley and F1 had brought the sport into ‘disrepute’, adding that ‘good judgment and taste’ should have seen the 68-year-old resign.

“I think the FIA body should govern the sport but Max is not the person to do that. I believe you should go out and head hunt a new CEO - not someone from the sport - that can put together a proper structure.”
