It is not good to go through a press agency to declare that I am dead and buried, while I am still very much alive. I am now popular, from the four corners of the world, to run for re-election. »

Generally, when you do something for sixteen years, like I did, it's time to stop. » The FIA ​​president also thinks that the Formula 1 paddock must have a younger man as FIA president. “ When I started, I was old enough to be the pilots' father. Now I'm old enough to be their grandfather. Even though I don't feel old, I must seem very old to them. From this point of view, they need someone else. »

However, the strong man of the FIA ​​recognizes that he could run for his post again if new conflicts appear in the coming weeks. “ I really want to stop. But if there is a big conflict with FOTA for example, I won't be able to leave. I am not the man to withdraw in the middle of a fight »
