Former Ferrari Chief Jean Todt, who played a major role in helping the Italian team secure multiple world championships together with Ross Brawn and the legendary Michael Schumacher, has now confirmed his desire to run for FIA President.
The man currently in the top job at the FIA, Max Mosley, gave his 100% support of Todt’s application when he confirmed recently that he would not be running for re-election in October of this year. At that stage, Todt’s intentions were only speculated but now confirmation has arrived...
"Following the decision of Max Mosley not to seek re-election and his unequivocal support of my candidature I've written to the members of the FIA to inform them that I wish to run for the presidency. It is my intention to continue and expand the outstanding work of President Mosley,'' he said.
There has been some voiced opposition to Todt’s decision with the majority wanting former Rally champion Ari Vatanen in the role instead, believing that he would give the FIA a fresh outlook when Todt would not.
