Mosley wins confidence vote

Max Mosley's position as president of motorsport's governing body appears to be safe after winning a confidence vote after a sex scandal.A secret ballot was held at an extraordinary hearing of the FIA's general assembly after allegations about Mosley's private life.Robert Darbelnet, head of the Automobile Association of America (AAA) told reporters that Mosley, 68, had won by 103 votes to 55.Last week, a group of motoring associations wrote to Mosley imploring him to resign and claiming the FIA is "in a critical situation. Its image, reputation and credibility are being severely eroded".Less than 72 hours later, Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone made his thoughts known for the first time and called for Mosley to quit.He said: "He should stand down out of responsibility for the institution he represents, including F1. Everyone I speak to in a position of authority across F1 rings me to say he should leave. It is regretful he has not made that decision."
