Mosley likely to survive June 3 vote
The 68-year-old Scot, who is the same age as the FIA's scandal-ridden president, revealed at Monaco that he is despondently confident that Mosley will emerge unscathed from June 3's confidence vote in Paris.
"I'll gladly pay out if the other guy wins but I think it's wrong if I win," the Scot told Reuters.
Despite the widespread calls for Mosley's scalp, Stewart's prediction is reflected by many figures on the verge of the Monte Carlo event, even if the stakes for the FIA are raising ever higher.
It is now common knowledge at Monaco that the influential Japan Automobile Federation has made it clear to FIA affiliates that it may withdraw from the governing body if Mosley does not step down before the June 3 vote.
After making a brief appearance in the paddock on Thursday, Mosley was not seen in the Principality on the 'day off' Friday.
