Todt attacks Vatanen

After stopping in Salou where the Rally from Spain at the beginning of the month, Jean Todt and Ari Vatanen, the two candidates for the presidency of the FIA, are entering the home stretch. The election to find a successor to Max Mosley will take place on October 23, but the two candidates are already entering the final campaign phase. Supported among others by the current president, Jean Todt sent a letter to FIA member clubs to share with them his vision of the campaign led by his Finnish opponent.

« We tried to understand what our opponent's proposals were for the FIA ​​but we did not find detailed policies », We can read in the letter signed by the Frenchman. “ In our campaign, we highlighted teamwork and the need for mobility as well as the need for the pillars of motorsport to work together. »

Responding to what he considers “ a personal attack » from Mr. Vatanen, Jean Todt calls on FIA member clubs to focus on what is most important. “ We appeal to all FIA member clubs to focus on the real issues and we hope that the personal attacks and false allegations will stop. »

The vote for the appointment of the president of the FIA ​​will take place on October 23. Ten days before the election, the two candidates are now entering the home stretch.
