Mere days after Max Mosley announced that he wouldn’t be running for FIA president re-election we have Jean Todt announcing that he will run to take Mr. Mosley’s place:
“It is my intention to continue and expand the outstanding work of president Mosley, who for 16 years has worked tirelessly to strengthen the FIA’s major motor sport championships.”
For those who don’t know, Jean Todt was the former CEO of luxury automaker Ferrari so he knows a thing or two about speed. Max Mosley even announced alongside that he won’t be running for re-election that Jean Todt is his candidate of choice for the next FIA president.
Here’s to hoping that Mr. Todt will utilize his automobile knowledge to bring great things to the FIA and Forumla 1 in general.
