Well, now it looks as if the whole of the FIA is corrupt.

Short & sweet.

Todt NO
Vatenen YES

Too bad fans, teams don’t have any say in the matter.

What is a grid guy? But if that is what it takes to get your vote, then sure! But I can’t promise an F1 driver escort.

I know what you mean. The really important issue is what you mentioned.

The rest is all gossip of ours just for the sake of having something to talk about.

Well Todt now finally speaks up and has confirmed that he will run for the FIA presidency

he says:

“I am enthusiastic and excited to serve as President of the FIA and very grateful for your consideration of my candidacy.”

He speaks in a way as though he has already been selected as the president. My guess is that most of the FIA members have given him strong support that he needs.

So I have feeling unless Ari Vatenen gets some major support from within FIA, he wont stand a chance. Todt will be Max Mosleys ghost, effectively the same person except I dont think Todt will act like a child, he will approach dealings more professionally though he will continue Mosley’s song.

I think Todt is a significant step forward in the wrong direction.
Might as well name Lou as FIA president directly

Thats the part that caught my attention too! They have pretty much laid it on the table, and admitted that Todt will be Mosley’s puppet, more of the same. I wish the teams could have a vote…
