Toyota want F1 to move on from scandal

Toyota are hoping that Formula One can move on from the controversy surrounding FIA president Max Mosley in the wake of the vote of confidence he received by the governing body's General Assembly this week.

Although Mosley won a clear majority in the vote on his presidency in Paris earlier this week, there has been some criticism about the verdict by motoring authorities and others involves in the sport. Furthermore, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has called on Mosley to resign.

And although Toyota were one of the car manufacturers who asked Mosley to consider his position in the immediate aftermath of the News of the World expose about his private life, they have said now that they hope motorsport can just focus on the future now the vote has been made.

"Toyota Motorsport acknowledges the result of the Extraordinary General Assembly and accepts the decision taken," said the Japanese manufacturer in a statement issued on Thursday.

"Now that the FIA membership has expressed its view we hope that motorsport is able to conduct its activities unhindered by scandal, controversy and negative publicity.

"We also acknowledge and understand the position of the major touring clubs, of which many of our customers are members."
