Motor Sport: Max Mosley has been re-elected president of motor racing's ruling body, FIA, for a third and last four-year term.

The 61-year-old won a unanimous vote during an FIA general assembly in Cologne, Germany. He was the only candidate.

Mosley has focused on improving safety standards in Formula One since replacing Frenchman Jean-Marie Balestre in 1991 at the head of FISA, which was then the sport's division of FIA and disappeared in 1993.

One of the co-founders of the March Formula One team in 1969, Mosley was himself a driver from club up to Formula Two, where he competed at international level.
