Jean Todt

With the role of FIA President set to change this year for the first time since 1993, Jean Todt faces rivalry from 1981 World Rally Champion Ari Vatanen. Upon revealing his team on Tuesday, the 63-year-old released the following statement:

'On Friday the FIA opened submissions for the FIA Presidential election and I am pleased to confirm that I have formally submitted my complete candidacy team.

In accordance with the statutory requirements of the FIA, the list includes a Deputy President and seven vice-presidents for Sport; a Deputy President and seven vice-presidents for Automobile, Mobility and Tourism; and a President and five members of the FIA Senate.

I am delighted to have the support of what I believe is a dynamic leadership team with outstanding experience and knowledge of all the issues central to motoring and motor sport today. It is also a team representative of the entire FIA with members from across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and Latin America.

I am particularly proud that so many leading members of the FIA family have backed our vision for the future. Both the sporting and mobility sides of the FIA share common values supporting fairness for consumers and competitors, for safety and sustainability on road and track, and the right to enjoy the freedom that the automobile can provide.

To coincide with the submission of our full candidacy list our team is also publishing our 'Road Map to Renewal' which summarizes our key policy proposals for motor sport and mobility. We recognize that the FIA needs to renew itself and through innovation, excellence and teamwork, we can better meet the needs of our membership and meet the challenges of the years ahead.'
