There are two French vs Finnish motor sport contests this weekend. The first is for the Presidency of FIA, the governing body. Unfortunately Jean Todt has beaten Ari Vatanen to it. I say unfortunately, because Max Mosley has been a big supporter of the ex-Ferrari team boss and he hopes that it is more of the same.
I wanted there to be a big change. Some more consistent rulings, a push for reduced carbon emissions throughout motor sport, less intrigue and less politics overall. Todt is made in the Mosley mould, so get ready for more stories of motor sportshooting itself in the foot.
The second contest is for the World Rally Championship, between the Finn Mikko Hirvonen and Frenchman Sebastien Loeb in Wales. Loeb has won the championship for the last five years and I think it would be good for the sport if another were to win it this time around.
Squiffy.
