Hill urges Mosley to go

Damon Hill has joined the growing chorus calling for FIA president Max Mosley to stand down after revelations about his private life were made in the News of the World Newspaper.

"None of us wants to be moralising about individual behaviour, but there has to be an element here to do with the image of the sport, and the ability of the top representative of the sport in the world to continue," Hill told The Times newspaper. "It's a practical issue, but it's also a marketing issue."

"Businesses connected with the sport want a positive image, and politicians want to engage with it because they know motorsport people support those values," he added.

Mosley is clinging onto his position pending a vote of confidence of the FIA Senate at the start of June. In the meantime he has hired PR support in the UK in the form of Phil Hall (the man who previously represented Heather Mills) in a bid to correct the image problem he has suffered because of the revelations.
