Todt elected new president of the FIA

By Jonathan NobleFriday, October 23rd 2009, 11:37 GMT

Jean Todt is the new FIA president after comfortably winning Friday's election in Paris.
The former Ferrari team principal had been up against former world rally Ari Vatanen for the top job within motor racing's governing body.
Todt got 135 votes compared to Vatanen's 49. There were 12 abstentions or invalid votes.
The entire voting procedure was supervised by an external Huissier de Justice, the French state-appointed public witness.
The victory means he will succeed outgoing president Max Mosley, who made it clear from the outset that he wanted Todt to win the vote.

Glad to see the Nazi gone but just how impartial can Jean "Ferrari" Totd be?

Ferrari International Assistance will continue then

Ari Vatanen should have won I'm sure any F1 fan would agree. The problem is we don't get to vote, it comes down to what potential dodgy deals Todt promised voters. Vatanen would certainly have been the fairer option for all teams.
