Jean Todt won the FIA Presidential Election.
I don’t like him. I don’t trust him. He made many fans’ lives a misery for years at Ferrari with his sniping and bending of the rules.
It sucks that a) he had the better ideas and manifesto, and b) won.
Such a shame Vatanen came over as just a bit too clueless.
We’ll wait and see if this new era brings us the promised changes or if he’ll ‘forget’. His first act appears to be to make Michael Schumacher his F1 Commissioner. I have no idea how true that is. Let’s hope not at all.
On the plus side… he’s gotta be better than Max.
Not Max all by itself is a plus. An insider gets elected to lead FIA? Seriously? WHAT A SHOCKER. I think "FIA" is from the Latin root for "incestuous."
I think they had this planned for a long time…
