Patrick Head, co-owner of the Williams team, says he would rather have the scandal-ridden Max Mosley as FIA President than Jean Todt.

Amid the ruckus about Mosley's caper with five role-playing prostitutes, Todt - the former Ferrari team boss - was slated as the most likely candidate should the FIA need to fill the role.

Ultimately, Mosley survived the scandal, apparently to the quiet relief of Head and fellow team stalwart Sir Frank Williams.

"Our view is that Max, sometimes with our resistance, has done a number of things in recent years which have been good for this company," he told The Independent.

"It is not in our interests to undermine Max, especially in the light of threats of him being replaced by Jean Todt.
"

Head does not believe Todt is suited to running the governing body of world motoring and racing.

"We have been to many meetings at which (Todt) has been present representing the interests of Ferrari 100 percent. He is confrontational, argumentative, and not impartial, everything that the President of the FIA should not be," he charged.

NO please not Todt. :nono:
Firstly I don't think he would be good for the job.
Secondly I don't like him.
Thirdly I would not like to give the lambs a ready made excuse to whine :cry:

Which won't stop them anyhow :hehe:

That would be a good thing. :hehe:
If it is the only way to stop McLaren winning that is. If BMW would eventually become Ferraris only rivals then I wouldn't care as I don't mind seeing BMW winning.

Too may would people would think? Try the fact that we all know the man is a biased creep.

Agreed. :) (Stoddard, for instance, would be a good candidate as well though).

Lewis might nick it at the last minute if we submit her. :P

Edit: Wait, no. Anthony. :yikes::yikes::yikes:

I think Eddie Jordan would be a good choice. Imagine him warring with Bernie :D

No team principal would.

Okay, there are several men on the grid who, if they didn't have such team ties, would be marvellous candidates but the opportunity to be biased towards your (former) team is too much of a risk, to be honest.
