Formula One ( F1 )

I feel that Jean Todt will not be unfriendly to Ferrari, but also, I think he will tread his own path. I can't see him being friendly to MacLaren though, but we shall see. He's a shrewd man, and I hink he will never be in Max Mosley's pocket at all. Around the world Todt has a powerful image of his own, and I think the Mosley era shall not be made reference to very much. He will want to set his own mark, and follow his own agenda.

The role has been "unpaid", though how much oil sheiks and individual governments are willing to surreptitiously "pay" to the "arranger", which is what the role largely is, is enough to keep people like Max comfortably off in stately home fashion.

After what went on between Todt Luca Di Montezemolo I can't see him doing Ferrari any favours, although some McL fans will still continually play the conspiracy card i'm sure.
