Frenchman Jean Todt with Malaysian AZN wife Michelle Yeoh
Just remember, Ari Vatanen, the Finnish challenger for the throne, has Jean Todt to thank for half (5) of his WRC victories, driving the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16. And really that sums it up right there doesn’t it? Todt can and has always been able to construct championship winning cars, no matter the series. Vatanen is just a driver with good speech and a persuasive manner.
Although Iam least bothered about the politics and politicians and executive heads of Formula One, Iam very pleased to see the name ‘Jean Todt’ standing for a chance to step into Max Mosley’s shoes.
