Vatanen announces the list of his supporters

The candidate for the position of FIA president, Ari Vatanen, has announced the list of vice-presidents for sport who support him in his bid. The Finn will be supported by HRH Prince Faisal Al Hussein of Jordan, Antonis Michaelides from Cyprus, John Naylor from Ireland, Arie Ruitenbeek from the Netherlands, Kari O. Sohlberg from Finland, Mumtaz Tachincioglu from Turkey, and Jack Wavamunno representing Uganda.

« Once again, I am delighted with the choice of people who are all behind me, » said Vatanen. « Some of them represent countries that are very well established in international motorsport, but others come from emerging nations. I think it is absolutely essential to have these reformist people by my side because I believe they embody the change we are seeking in these elections. »

« If we want to know, for example, what needs to be done for motorsport in Africa, there is no better person than Jack Wavamunno. On the other hand, it is also important to remember that Hermann Tomczyk, whom I propose for the position of vice-president for sport, represents the DMSB, one of the largest clubs in the world. »

The election is approaching for Ari Vatanen and Jean Todt as they enter their final month of campaigning, with the elections taking place at the end of October.
