TruemorsManama (ANTARA News/Reuters) - FIA President Max Mosley will not be attending Sunday`s Bahrain Grand Prix after sexual revelations about him in a British tabloid newspaper.A spokesman for the governing International Automobile Federation confirmed on Wednesday that Mosley, 67, would miss the third race of the Formula One season.
"The FIA President was originally scheduled to attend the race in Bahrain but legal matters have detained him in London," he said.
In a letter sent to all national FIA clubs and bodies, including the World Motor Sport Council, Mosley apologised on Tuesday for any embarrassment caused by revelations in Sunday`s News of the World tabloid.
He said he intended to issue legal proceedings against the newspaper in the UK and other jurisdictions and also made clear he had no intention of resigning, despite calls for him to do so.
"I will not allow any of this to impede my commitment to the FIA," he wrote.
