Max back on his throne

Max Mosley was unanimously re-elected President of Motorsport's governing body, the FIA, in Rome today. However, as he was the only candidate, it was a given that he'd get 100 percent of the votes.

The 65 year-old Briton, who first came into power in 1991, will start his fourth term in office after the FIA's general assembly unanimously voted for him in the uncontested election. While the elections were a one-man affair, Mosley hopes that the job won't be.
Max Mosley "I have made it very clear to everybody that the reason I wanted to be elected with a whole team is that the work is going to be doled out."

However, he does concede that at least until the current issues facing Formula One, such as the threat of a breakaway series starting in 2008, have been resolved, he will have to be the man standing at the front line.
"At the moment I suppose I have still got to take responsibility for F1, but once we have got real peace I want to step back from it and have a quieter life. Everybody, all sorts of people on the group, will have different jobs to do and hopefully they will get on and do them. I will really only get involved in exceptional circumstances."
