Mosley not thinking of retirement yet

Max Mosley will decide next year whether or not to run again for president of the FIA, when his position is up for re-election in 2009

Mosley was elected head of the governing body in 1993 and was last re-elected for his fourth term in 2005.

And the 67-year-old admitted he does have concerns about staying in the job for too long, but he says he will not make a decision whether or not to retire until next year.

"I shouldn't speculate on at the moment," he told the BBC, when asked if he is contemplating retirement.

"In 2004, I did actually say I had enough, and various people insisted on me staying a little bit longer.

"I think the day that you start to think, 'this can't operate without me', that's the moment you've got to stop. And also you shouldn't go on too long.

"When I started, I was old enough to be the father of some of the drivers. Now, there are drivers that could be my grandchildren, and that starts to be on the limit.

"But as to what happens in 2009, I'll decide in a year's time."
