I also chaired the GPWC, which is the championship that the manufacturers wanted to create at the end of the 2000s to counter Bernie Ecclestone’s power in F1. I would have liked to have been at the head of the FIA, but at the moment I’m not looking for anything in particular, I just want to be happy and work with people I feel in harmony with β.
