Max Mosley will decide whether or not he wants to continue as president of Formula One's governing body the FIA this October.
The 67-year-old Briton has headed the FIA for almost 15 years, but with the recent spygate controversy and his "halfwit" jibe at three-time champion Jackie Stewart still fresh in the memory, he may be looking for a way out soon.
"It really depends on how you feel, what the [various national racing] clubs feel. I would not want to go on doing it forever," Mosley told UK newspaper The Independent.
Should Mosley confirm at the FIA World Motorsport Council meeting in October that he will not serve another term beyond 2009, they will have one year to find a replacement.
Mosley became FIA president in 1993, replacing Frenchman Jean-Marie Balestre in the role, and said in October 2004 that he would stand down the following year.
He went back on his decision however, and remains in charge today.
Mosley has made it publicly known that he wants Jean Todt - the former Ferrari team boss - to replace him as FIA president when he steps down, although BMW board member Dr Burkhard Goeschel and Renault boss Flavio Briatore are known to want the role.
