FIA president’s General Assembly election is scheduled on 17 December and FIA reveals the candidates list, who are fighting for the position to replace out going president Jean Todt.
On 23 October 2009, Todt was elected as President of the FIA (for what would become his first term) gaining 135 votes in comparison to Vatanen’s 49.
