Todt: Max is a man of rare elegance

Jean Todt has come to Max Mosley's aid, saying the FIA President shouldn't be sacked just because of the sex scandal.


Mosley's position as head of motorsport's governing body has come under threat after a British newspaper published a sex scandal story with alleged Nazi connotations.


Mosley has subsequently come under fire from F1 teams, drivers and motorsport bodies around the world with the FIA calling a meeting for June 3rd where a vote of confidence will be taken.


However, one man who doesn't believe Mosley should be fired as a result of the scandal is former Ferrari team boss Todt.


"He's a true president," the Frenchman told the Daily Mail.


"He knows his brief and is a great worker, reliable, very intelligent, a man of rare elegance. He's a true leader.


"I'm still amazed people concentrate on things which are nothing to do with his role."
