May 5 (GMM) 1980 world champion Alan Jones has backed Max Mosley's reluctance to resign as FIA president over the sex scandal.

The 61-year-old Australian, who is now involved in the A1 GP series, told Eurosport that what Mosley does in his private life "is his business".

"I care more about what he does in the office than what he's doing in the bed -- I don't know that even the majority of people would frown upon what he did.

"The only crime he committed was being caught," Jones said.

The former Williams driver also thinks Mosley, who is 68, was set up.
