While only a few teams have publicly called on Mosley to consider his position, they are all reportedly united in their reluctance to be seen in his company.

The Times claims that one team principal has told the newspaper that they 'will keep an eye on Mosley so they can avoid him and have even considered an informal scouting system around the Monte Carlo paddock to warn them of his presence.

Another team source said almost all the teams were making preparations to avoid Mosley.

The source, who added that "furtive conversations" on this issue between teams had taken place at Istanbul Park last weekend, said: "The safe majority of teams are considering what they should do about their important people in terms of interaction with the president of the FIA at Monaco."

Mosley faces a FIA hearing in Paris next month over his alleged conduct.
