Title: Jean Todt is new FIA President Post by: fensaddler on 23 October, 2009, 12:48:47 PM Can't help but think this was always going to happen, but is not a good result. The FIA has already seemed on many occasions to be rather too pro-Ferrari, and this is hardly likely to help. Moreover, I sense 'more of the same' which given what has gone before, is not positive. Vatenen seemed like breath of fresh air, which is, of course, why the old men of the FIA ensured he didn't get the job.

And surprise surprise his appointment was backed by a certain Mr M Schumacer ::)Brian 8227 8) |
