Vatanen goes on campaign

If Max Mosley has left doubts about his continuation at the head of the FIA, it seems very unlikely that the Briton will continue, while his detractors are more and more numerous. Especially since Ari Vatanen, a candidate declared since last Friday, appeals to many players in motorsport. Moreover, the Finn finds it hard to imagine Mosley striving to keep his post. “ Max Mosley is a wise man, said Vatanen ironically at the microphone of RMC this Sunday. He does not want to be considered as the one who contributed to the end of the FIA. I think we need to give him the opportunity to go out with his head held high. »

Ari Vatanen wants to take the opposite view of the current president who, according to him, is leading the automotive world into a very bad situation. “ By persisting on the path we have taken in recent months, we are on a pattern of self-destruction. » The world rally champion (1981) even gives a very negative assessment of the years of the Briton's presidency. “ Mr. Mosley (?) had power for almost twenty years. It?s normal that in any federation, there is change. The image that the FIA ​​gives to the rest of the world today is not worthy of it. We absolutely must unify, put an end to our internal dissensions, reconcile and become credible again. » Ari Vatanen, with his campaign starting this weekend, will seek to show that he is the ideal candidate to restore credibility to the FIA. Motorsport really needs it.
