Max Mosley emerged at the Monaco Grand Prix on Thursday, the auto racing leader’s first Formula One appearance since he became embroiled in a sex scandal.
The 68-year-old Englishman walked through the pit lane after coming out of the governing body’s paddock office.
“I can’t speak. I’m too busy,” said Mosley, who was to meet with team officials during a day of practice for Sunday’s Grand Prix.
A British tabloid reported that Mosley took part in sex acts with five prostitutes that involved a sadomasochistic Nazi theme. It was learned that the wife of a British MI5 intelligence agent was the prostitute who sold the story.
Mosley, president of F1’s governing body, has kept a low profile since the Crown Prince of Bahrain asked him not to attend the Bahrain GP in April after the scandal broke.
