Max Mosley, the former president of motorsport's governing body the FIA, has ruled out any chance of returning to a role in the sport.
Mosley stepped down in 2009 as part of a peace deal to end the threat of a breakaway championship by F1 teams.
Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone told BBC 5 live: "I didn't want Max to go and it would be nice to have him back."
But Mosley said: "I think my F1 days are finished and I've moved on to other things. One should never go back."
Asked further about speculation that he was considering returning to motorsport, Mosley told 5 live: "It's completely a rumor. I follow it vaguely at a distance. I'm really now just an ordinary fan, I watch it on the television, but it's no longer my responsibility.
"It's a nice idea and very friendly to say 'come back' but the truth of the matter is it wouldn't be the right thing to do."

Gee why do I wonder about this rumor at Halloween time, with the thought of costumes and role playing in the air? Speaking of that, Max what are you wearing this year?
