Max Mosley’s standing as President of the FIA has taken another hit, with criticism from Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemelo.
Ferrari is regarded as a traditional ally of Mosley, although Montezemelo had previously expressed concern at Mosley’s ability to continue in his role following the sex scandal expose.
The Italian said:
"I believe he himself should understand that at times it is necessary to say 'I must leave the place for reasons of credibility.”
This echoes the beliefs of many others, including F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone who questioned whether organisations who had refused to deal with Mosley in the immediate aftermath of the revelations would be willing to do so now.
Despite a vote of confidence that saw two thirds of the members afford him a vote of confidence, concerns remain that the presence of Mosley as President is damaging to the image and credibility of the FIA, as evidenced by the withdrawal of the German body ADAC, and the possibility of other high profile organisations following suit.
The declaration by the Ferrari President will come as a further blow to Mosley’s hopes of staying on until late 2009.
