Oct.10 (GMM) Despite calling for Max Mosley to resign amid the sex
scandal, Bernie Ecclestone now wants the FIA president to stay. Mosley, 69, is contemplating whether to renew his tenure beyond next
October, and F1 chief executive Ecclestone said: "I would re-elect him
for another two decades.
"If he wants to stay, it's right that he should," the Briton told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
In the wide-ranging interview, Ecclestone also played down suggestions
the night racing concept might be set to spread beyond the inaugural
Singapore grand prix.
"It is limited to Asian and overseas races," he said. "Theoretically
all the grands prix in that part of the world could be at night, but in
2009 there will only be Singapore."
Ecclestone also said he would be happy to see MotoGP's Valentino Rossi switch to F1.
Asked how much he would like to see it happen, the billionaire
answered: "Very. I hope he will arrive one day, and Ferrari give him
the machine to do it."
