Sir Jackie Stewart has confirmed that he is no longer considering pursuing Max Moslꦿey through the courts over the embattled FIA President's remarks last year that the Scot was a 'certified half-wit' who dresses up 'as a 1930s music hall man'.

The comments were made after Stewart had described the FIA investigation into the espionage ♈row that engulfed Formula 1 last summer as a 'witch hunt' against McLar🧔en-Mercedes.

"Dear old Jackie, he knows nothing about sports governance," Mosley had said at the time, adding that in his opinion the former Tyrrell and BRM ace was merely a 'figure of fun' within the F1 paddock. "Because he never stops talking, he♍ doesn't know much about anything actually. ꦡHe just talks."

Many saw the personal attack as a barely concealed reference to Stewart's dyslexia, and the former three-time world champion took such offence that he consulted his lawyers over the possibility of taking legal action on the g෴rounds of libel.

Stewart and Mosley have rarely seen eye-to-eye, comingജ to verbal blows on a number of key issues within the sport over the pas🤡t four decades.

"Those sort of comments show him up," Stewart told the Scotland on Sunday♛ newspaper. "They prove that he's intelligent, but not always smart.

"Once upon a time I'd have been horrified by him talking about my dyslexia, but not now. I'm a certified dysl🐓exic, so what? So what if I can't recite the alphabet?

"I did think about suing him an𒉰d was told I had a cast-iron case🃏, but it was so petty and I didn't want to come down to his level.

"What it showed was that his dec♔ision-making, especially when he's in a rage, is worryingly faulty."

Mosley yesterday survived a vote of confidence on his ability to continue to head up international motor racing's governing body, held in the FIA Senate in Paris and prompted by the highly damaging revelations made in the News of the World just over two months ago about the 68-year-old's private life. He prevailed in the motion by 103 votes to 55, with seven abstentions [see separate story - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:click here].
