Wait a minute, so your adamant the teams are going to breakaway even if Mosely stands down?

Well...it's questionable, but even if a new man does come? it's not just the person, it's the ridiculous rules

Yeah but if Todt comes in, instead of MM, FOTA teams will stay.
Or have I not heard something?

Not exactly. Actually, I don't think FOTA wants Todt as the new president. All teams inside the FOTA want someone who has no connections to the sport or to the teams. That would be the best.

Another name ‘doing the rounds’ amid speculation about the next FIA President is Ron Dennis, according to a high-ranking motor racing official.

Vicky Chandhok, motorsport boss and former President of the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India, and the father of GP2 driver Karun, has been mentioned as one possible successor to Max Mosley.

He told the Indian daily Asian Age: "It is certainly a great privilege to see my name doing the rounds along with Dennis and (Jean) Todt. But I personally feel that I am not ready for it."

Chandhok has long been associated with the Paris based FIA, and is known in the paddock for being close to F1 Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone.

Also mentioned as potential candidates for Mosley's job this week have been American Nick Craw, the FIA sporting President, and 1981 world rally champion-turned European parliamentarian Ari Vatanen.



However Dennis ruled himself out as a possible successor to Max Mosley earlier this year whilst still Team Principal at McLaren Mercedes.

“Anybody who’s in a position of leadership of a company has to live, sleep and breathe that brand, and I think it would be impossible for me - even though I consider myself extremely disciplined - to be completely impartial regarding all the teams,” he said ahead of the current season.

“I don’t think it’s possible for anyone who’s led a successful team, frankly, and it would therefore be inappropriate for me,” he added.

Well good old Vicky would get his son into the sport.

Dennis is talking alot of sense there, hence why i'm slightly worried about Todt.

Dennis proves his honour once again. Todt, however, is nothing more than power-hungry megalomaniac.

[Denthúl]

Neither Ron Dennis nor Jean Todt can step in to the role of FIA president - there is too much (and too recent) of an emotional bond with the two biggest teams in the sport. It needs to be somebody who has had no involvement with a Formula One team (at least not to the extent that they could favour one more than another), ideally.

Todt is a slimy git and would be as bad as Mosely. Dennis can see there is a potential for conflict of interest and stands aside. Todt can see there is a potential for conflict of interest and put himself firmly forward. That says a lot. Says a lot about the FIA too if they even consider him!!
