FIA to ‘sort’ spy saga within weeks – Mosley

(GMM) F1's seemingly deepening spy scandal could be completely resolved within a few weeks, Max Mosley said on Saturday.

The president of the sport's governing body told reporters at the scene of the British grand prix that an FIA investigation into the affair, which is being led by race director Charlie Whiting, is already under way.

"When we've got all the facts then we will decide what to do," Briton Mosley said.

He added: "I hope that, as far as the sport is concerned, it should all be clarified within the next three weeks."

Mosley also clarified that Honda is not part of the investigation, despite the Japanese team clarifying on Friday that principal Nick Fry recently held a meeting with the alleged conspirators, Nigel Stepney and Mike Coughlan.

He played down the damage the affair could have on F1's reputation.

"I think these things happen in all sports, we'll sort it out," Mosley said.
