Stewart hits out at Mosley decision to stay in FIA role

SIR JACKIE STEWART believes Max Mosley's 'carry on regardless' attitude has cast a shadow over the FIA.

Stewart yesterday renewed his call for Mosley to stand down as president of motorsport's world governing body, with Eddie Jordan, Stirling Moss and Paul Stoddart all voicing a similar view.

Their message of condemnation came on the day Mosley was awarded £60,000 compensation after winning a privacy action against the News of the World.

The Sunday tabloid had accused the 68-year-old son of 1930s Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley of taking part in a "sick Nazi orgy" with five prostitutes.

It was a claim Mosley vehemently denied, with the presiding judge in the case, Mr Justice Eady, stating: "I found there was no evidence that the gathering on 28 March 2008 was intended to be an enactment of Nazi behaviour or adoption of any of its attitudes."

It's 53 days since Mosley won a vote of confidence from the FIA.

However Stewart still feels he should resign."If Max were president of the Olympic movement, he would have been told to go. I don't see how he can justify staying on."
