FIA president Max Mosley to decide on future in June

Max Mosley has said that he will wait until June 2009 before making a final decision over whether or not to step down as president of the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
Mosley has been saying for several months that he plans to relinquish his presidency when his term ends next October, although he claims that there is pressure from within world motorsport's governing body for him to continue.
Asked on Tuesday whether it was still his intention not to stand for re-election, Mosley said: "Yes, but I will take a final decision in June."
And Mosley further warned that anyone thinking of applying for the post should think long and hard before throwing their hat into the ring. He said: "A great deal of patience and ideally an ability to understand quickly a great variety of technical and legal issues. I would advise a potential successor to think very carefully before standing for election."
On the subject of the forthcoming Formula One season, Mosley said that he would be "surprised and disappointed" if the rule changes ratified in Monte Carlo earlier this month did not result in more overtaking.
An aerodynamic revamp, allied to the reintroduction of slick tyres and the use of a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) - which, if successfully developed and deployed, will give the car a temporary boost at strategic moments - have all been introduced for 2009.
Mosley said: "The 2009 aerodynamic regulations were developed by three of the top Formula One engineers, aided by an extensive wind tunnel programme.
"I have no means of judging whether they have got it right, but if they have not, it will be surprising and disappointing. In addition, the KERS system, if fitted, will make a significant difference to overtaking by giving a car an 80hp boost for up to six seconds each lap."
Mosley also predicted that greater transparency in stewarding would help to avoid a repeat of controversies such as the one as following this year's Belgian Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton crossed the finish line first but was later handed a drive-through penalty as a result of cutting a chicane, which relegated him to third place.
"People were criticising the stewards' decisions without having the information which the stewards had," Mosley said. "The obvious way to deal with this is to make that information generally available. Once people understand why a decision was made, they will be less likely to disagree with it and any criticism will be informed rather than uninformed."
