LONDON - International Automobile Federation (FIA) president Max Mosley will decide in June whether to stand for re-election, he said yesterday.
Mosley announced in April, after becoming embroiled in a sadomasochistic sex scandal that triggered calls for his resignation, that he would stand down when his term expires next October.
However the world motorsport chief, backed by success in a confidence vote, has since spoken of considerable pressure from members for him to stay in office.
The Briton told the official Formula One Web site (www.formula1.com) that he still had no plans to run for re-election but would make a decision in June.
"The difficulty is finding somebody who has the necessary experience, but also the time and inclination to do the job," he said.
Mosley, who has played a key role in forcing through cost-cutting measures in Formula One, said any candidate would need plenty of patience. He said Formula still needed to protect against the risk of manufacturers pulling out due to the global financial crisis.
"I think we ought to try to have at least one independent outside engine supplier, because of the risk that we will lose another manufacturer or even two," said the Briton.
