Ecclestone hopes outcome of vote will not hurt F1
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has reacted on the vote of confidence which was won by FIA President Max Mosley today. Ecclestone called for Mosley to step down at the end of the year, but insists that his relationship with the Briton will not change.
Ecclestone said to news agency 'Reuters' that he hopes the outcome of the vote will not hurt Formula One. "It's business as usual as far as I'm concerned. I hope it hasn't destabilised sponsors or manufacturers.
The F1 boss admitted he was not sure what will happen now as there are 55 members of the Senate who voted against Mosley.
"I've always said publicly that I thought he should stand down at the end of the year. We are now in a position where nobody quite knows what will happen. All those who said things in the past, I don't imagine they are going to change their opinion now. It's going to be difficult for him to act as a president of the FIA if the people who said before that they don't want to meet with him maintain that position."
