Montezemolo gives Mosley cautious backing

Luca di Montezemolo has only tentatively backed Ferrari colleague Jean Todt`s full backing of the embattled FIA President Max Mosley.

Montezemolo, the Maranello-based marque`s Italian president, commented on the fallout of the sex scandal in the pages of sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday.

“Objectively, I think it will be difficult for him to stay,” the 60-year-old said in an interview.

Montezemolo, however, acknowledges the dilemma about the prospect of Mosley`s departure.

“Should he withdraw from the FIA, the federation would need a successor with the same experience, competence, character and balance,” he added.
