Zoom Max Mosley has survived as FIA President

Max Mosley has won a motion of confidence following the alleged sex romp revealed earlier this year by the News of the World newspaper.

At an FIA Extraordinary General Assembly (EGA) today in Paris, the 68-year old secured the majority of the 177 votes he required to remain FIA President.

Mosley has gone on record to saying that he does not intend to stand for re-election next year and plans to devote much of his time to his legal battle following the allegations, as well as securing the long-term future of the sport.

This morning, F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone told The Times that he was ‘100 percent' sure that Mosley would stand for re-election next year despite Mosley’s comment to the contrary.

FIA Extraordinary General Assembly - Vote

During the Extraordinary General Assembly (EGA) held in Paris today, the FIA Member Clubs voted on a motion of confidence in the FIA President.

The FIA membership voted as follows:

For the motion: 103

Against the motion: 55

Abstentions: 7

Invalid votes 4

Voting in the EGA was made by secret ballot. Votes were counted in private by the FIA legal department in the presence of four scrutineers, selected by the EGA from a list of Delegates proposed by the Chairman of the meeting (the President of the FIA Senate).

The entire voting procedure was supervised by an external Huissier de Justice (French state-appointed public witness).
