Todt is president. What a farce. 2009 overall has not been a good year for formula 1.

Well, Yeoh will ensure he does his new job well.

Perhaps be giving him regular B*** jobs?

Well, so anti-Ferrari fans can handle on to the FIA-supports-Ferrari point for 5 years more. Come on guys, come up with something new now

Surely, this is a bad day for F1. But definitely not as catastrophic as some of the posts above make it out to be. Ari had absolutely no campaign points, his answer to every question was “sit down and talk” with shouts of “change” atleast twice every sentence. Even if Ari had won, it would have been a bad day for F1.

Lets give Jean a fair chance, don’t forget, FOTA is still there which was primarily responsible for Max’s ouster. And very cunningly, FOTA has kept quiet through the entire election and are coming out only now. I am sure, FOTA will keep Jean in check too.

But for now, congrats Jean. I hope (but I am not sure) you did nothing wrong to win the election.

Congratulations to Jean Todt, FIA president. Jean is also the Malaysian Tourism Ambassador. His girlfriend Michelle Yeoh, ex James Bond girl. Well, Yeoh will ensure he does his new job well.

Ever heard the term

Silent Assassin?

Funnily enough, we have. But it’s not relevant here, of course.

In the end it wasn’t even close was it.

Allowing for bribery and corruption it wasn’t even close.

If you go into battle without a plan,and promise only “change”,how can you ever hope to succeed?

I wanted Ari to win this,but even I could see that Todt not only had the best team,but also had the best policies.

An opportunity missed if you wanted “change”.

Give him a break we’re all upset.

This is just Godwin’s Law, the longer a thread goes on, the more likely a reference to Hitler or Nazi comparisons are to occur.
