Russian federation joins clubs' plea

The Russian motorsport federation has joined calls for Max Mosley to step down as president of the governing body.

In a brief letter sent to the FIA head on Thursday, R-FAST president Igor Yermilin said he strongly supported the opinion of the other 24 clubs who wrote to Mosley yesterday to ask him to resign.

"Hereby, Russian Federation of Auto Sport & Tourism (R-FAST) strongly supports the common opinion of the 24 FIA Member Clubs stated in the letter of the 28th of May," Yermilin wrote.

The letter sent on Wednesday was signed by representatives from America (AAA and AATA), Singapore (AAS), Germany (ADAC), Finland, (AL), Canada (CAA), Brazil (CCB), Denmark (FDM), France (FFA), India (FIAA), Japan (JAF), the Netherlands (KNAC), Sweden (M), Hungary (MAK), Israel (MEMSI), Austria (OEMTC), Spain (RACC and RACE), Belgium (TCB) and Switzerland (TCS).
