LONDON -- Bernie Ecclestone called on Max Mosley to resign as president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) for the first time on Saturday following Mosley's involvement in a sex scandal.

Ecclestone, 77, the commercial executive of Formula One, said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph he had been a friend of Mosley's for 40 years, but the time had come for him to quit.

It is the first time since the scandal broke in March that Ecclestone has publicly called for Mosley to quit.

"He should stand down out of responsibility for the institution he represents, including F1," he said.
