Jean Todt will continue in his role as FIA president for a third and final term, with official confirmation coming at the annual General Assembly in Paris.

Todt was completely unopposed in the election after the deadline passed with no new candidates emerging, meaning Todt will stay as president until 2021.

“It is gratifying to have such universal support,” said Todt. “I would like to thank all of the member clubs of the FIA for their support.”

“I see this as a validation of the direction the FIA has taken under my leadership, and as encouragement to continue the programme we have pursued over the past eight years.
