Mosley scandal has damaged F1 - Webber

Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber says FIA president Max Mosley has brought Formula One into disrepute after a tabloid newspaper exposed details of Mosley's private life, and he has subsequently refused to stand down.

"The current scandal has brought the sport into disrepute," Webber told the BBC. "Whether we like it or not, all of us in F1 are role models and the sport simply can't have scandals like this."

Mosley's future lies in the hands of the FIA members who will participate in a vote of confidence in his leadership at a meeting on 3 June. 

"Hopefully that decision will come on 3 June," Webber added. "We've got confidence in the people that they have all the information they need to make the decision that will see if he can continue."
