"It would then be impossible to turn around to all these people, the great majority, and say 'no I'm going to walk away' - even if I'm inclined to. But my inclination is to stay and fight.
"As far as the people in the sport are concerned, it's interesting that none of the heavyweights have said anything, the people who really are the opinion formers in
Formula One. There's a few ex-drivers [who have criticised], but they're based on the idea that somehow you can't have in your life any sort of sexual activity that's at all eccentric.

Mosley is currently involved in legal proceedings with the

"The first thing we're doing is suing them for breach of privacy and, for this, we have been given an expedited trial, so it means the entire five-day trial will come on in July," he confirmed, "I don't think they're entitled to [invade my privacy], and I intend to do what I can to stop them. In addition to that, proceedings are being brought in other jurisdictions because they have put this out, as said, all over the world. There are some countries where their actions are illegal, illegal in the criminal sense in that they can be prosecuted. This is now under way.
"I think it's extremely personal, but they put it on a completely different plane when they told a deliberate and cold-blooded lie about Nazism, as we will demonstrate. On top of that, when I said that it was a lie, in the second paper, they called me the liar."
