Material may be 'intrusive and demeaning', judge acknowledges, but would be futile to ban its re-publication as it is already in the international public domain.

Whilst Gavin Millar QC, for the News of the World, explained that only the footage that had already been made public would be aired on the website, he confirmed that a longer extract would be sent to the FIA, whose Senate is due to meet to discuss Mosley's future, though maybe not until July, when the 67-year-old's court case for breach of privacy against News Group Newspapers is expected to also be heard.

“It is merely disseminating demeaning and humiliating material,” insisted James Price QC, for Mosley, arguing that there was no public interest in the video's footage.

Mosley was not in court to hear the verdict, and has repeatedly insisted his actions were ‘harmless and completely legal', whilst vigorously denying any ‘Nazi connotations' to the role-playing involved. He is continuing to stand firm in the face of mounting pressure form the sport's leading figures and manufacturers to step down from his position.
