Jean Todt has been elected as the President of the FIA which is the world’s motorsport governing body. The Frenchman was contesting against Finland’s Ari Vatanen who is a former world rally champion. Todt replaces Max Mosley and won the elections by 86 votes from a total of 184. Jean Todt was the executive director for the Ferrari Formula 1 team before serving as Ferrari’s CEO until 2008.
He then remained with the company with a “special appointment” and left a year later. Todt will be joined by Nick Craw who will serve as the President of the Senate and Brian Gibbons, Deputy President Automobile Mobility & Tourism. Malaysia’s Tunku Mudzaffar bin Tunku Mustapha who is the chairman of the AAM will serve as a Senate Member.
Harvinder Singh Sidhu thinks there's nothing better than Formula 1, not even sliced bread. Having written about cars since 2006, he plunged head first into the industry out of a passion for all things four-wheeled and everything in between. The F1 enthusiast has been following the sport since 1999 and has been keeping up with it since. In between races he keeps himself busy as the host of the Driven motoring TV programme and as our version of the Joker.
F1 is getting Malaysian flavour..
Datuk Michelle Yeoh becomes Lady Boss
then ferrari will win all the races next championship..lol
oh no say bye bye to f1
Ya… he might be bias toward Ferrari…
But… will Datuk Michelle use her KungFu (if you know what i mean*) to "make" Jean a little bit bias to Lotus F1…??? hahahaha…..
NOOOO!!!!
Bias to ferrari? You must be kidding me. He left on a bad note, Luca wanted an italian to lead not french.
All the best to ferrari next year! Perhaps 1 Malaysia F1will get an upper hand since hes practically malaysian now
It's Michelle doing all the action behind the scene. He's just a puppet!
michelle yeoh is hot
Great, finally something good has been done by FIA, Mosley finally has more time to engage his Nazi-themed prostitutes.
Give us back the nice F1 car we used to see, no slick tires.
This mean more Ferrari biased FIA decision after this?
I believe Todt is no longer with Ferrari. Otherwise it would be a conflict of interest
