Mosley mulls over another run at FIA president

UPDATE (GMM) Max Mosley will decide whether to seek re-election as president of F1's governing body, the FIA, in October this year.

October 2008 is twelve months before the Paris-based body, made up of motor sport clubs from around the world, is set to decide on its new chief.

"It really depends on how you feel; what the clubs feel. I would not want to go on doing it for ever," Mosley, who is 67, is quoted as saying by the British newspaper The Independent.

He suggests that he is enthused by his next goals for formula one — paving the way for the introduction of budget caps, and the advent of the energy-recovery, or KERS, era.

"My last big project is to get the search for extra horsepower away from making the engines run faster and moving towards KERS, heat recovery, exhaust energy recovery," he said.

01/25/08 Max Mosley says that he will decide whether to stand again as a candidate for President of the FIA in October this year, a year before the election is due to take place. Mosley says that he is not yet sure if he will be a candidate – he is allowed one more term of office under the current rules – and that his decision will be based above all on whether he feels he wants to continue.

"I don't want to go on doing this forever," he said.

Mosley said that his last big project (at the moment) is to see F1 switch from looking for more horsepower by making the engines run faster and switch towards finding the extra power by using new systems such as the Kinetic Energy Recovery System, head recovery systems and exhaust energy recovery. Mosley say that these will be of great importance for the sport as it will lead the automobile industry towards a much cleaner future. Grandprix.com
