Mosley elected for another term

Max Mosley has been re-elected as president of world governing body the FIA, giving him a fourth consecutive term in office.

The Englishman, 65, first took on the role in 1991 and his return as president came as no surprise, with no other candidate standing against him.

Recent changes to FIA statutes force prospective candidates to nominate a cabinet of senior officials as well, making it harder for potential presidents to enter the contest in the first place.

As part of Mosley’s backroom team, Monaco’s Michel Boeri remains president of the FIA senate while Italy’s Marco Piccinini stays on as deputy president for sport.

The make-up of the FIA’s world motorsport council was also announced today, confirming Britain will retain a place.

Graham Stoker, a former member of the FIA’s international court of appeal, takes over from John Grant as the representative of the Motor Sports Association, Britain’s governing body.

MSA chief executive Colin Hilton said: “It is important that the UK is represented in the shaping of the sport on the international stage. Graham has a huge amount to offer and I am sure he will be a very influential member of the council.”
