<p>In addition Mosley responded in particular to the earlier BMW and Mercedes-Benz statement speaking to Reuters he said ""Given the history of BMW and Mercedes Benz, particularly before and during the Second World War, I fully understand why they would wish to strongly distance themselves from what they rightly describe as the disgraceful content of these publications.

<p>"No doubt the FIA will respond to them in due course as I am about to respond to the newspaper in question."
