Vatanen criticizes Todt and Mosley

On Wednesday, Max Mosley announced that he would not run for president of the FIA ​​and named Jean Todt as his favorite to succeed him. A situation which annoys Ari Vatanen today. The Finn, the first to declare himself a candidate to succeed Max Mosley, does not agree with the Briton's way of proceeding. “ It is not correct that Max wants to impose a new leader, with the support of the federation. The FIA ​​is not a kingdom, it is a republic in which the leaders are democratically elected “, he told the daily As.

Ari Vatanen does not stop there since the former world champion of rally also criticizes his former boss at Peugeot , Jean Todt, who, according to him, does not embody the future of motorsport. “ I represent this change, a new stage, while on the contrary, Jean Todt represents the old stage » added Vatanen. After a week of campaigning, it has already taken the turn of controversy, three months before the appointment of the future president of the FIA.
