Mosley and the EC have clashed after the introduction of a new European Union-wide law relating to deaths on the track which could see F1 team chiefs issued with arrest warrants in such cases.
The F1 teams have threatened to boycott European races if they don't get guarantees from the respective governments that they will be exempt from the new ruling. In particular, Mosley said governments must remove the threat of jail in the event of a fatal accident to ensure races would be staged.
Eight EU member states have implemented the law while the seven remaining members - including France, Germany and Italy, who host two races - have pledged to implement the legislation by March.
It means races in the UK, Belgium and Spain could be under threat.
But Mosley flared up after an EC spokesman said that nobody is ‘above the law’ and suggested the FIA had reacted too late to the plans.
