Ich habe mich nach dem Artikel auch erst mal informiert, wer denn nun im THE WORLD MOTOR SPORT COUNCIL sitzt. Auf der offiziellen Seite
www.fia.com bin ich fündig geworden (irgendwie einleuchtend, oder?
)
Aus fia.com:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTICLE 14 - THE WORLD MOTOR SPORT COUNCIL
The World Motor Sport Council shall consist of :
• the President of the FIA;
• the Deputy President;
• the 7 Vice-Presidents;
• the 17 Members;
a total of 26 Members who, with the exception of the President of the FIA, must represent an ASN having at least one event entered on the International Sporting Calendar of the current year, of whom 21, with the exception of the President, the Deputy President and the 3 Members by right, shall be of different nationalities.
Karting : Its sporting activities shall be directed by the International Karting Commission (CIK) which is one of the Sporting Commissions of the FIA, acting in accordance with article 21 – 5°) of the statutes.
The President of the CIK, the President of the FIA Sporting Manufacturers' Commission,
and either a representative of the Formula One Constructors or the President of the Formula One Constructors Association appointed by the World Motor Sport Council shall be Members by right of the World Motor Sport Council. For questions concerning Formula One, the vote of the President of the Manufacturers' Commission may be exercised by another person if provision is made for this in the agreements which govern the Formula One World Championship.
No member of the World Motor Sport Council who sits as a representative of the interests of Formula One shall be entitled to participate in any decision regarding the authorisation of a new international series.
Jean Todt ist also wie gesagt einer von 26 Mitgliedern des Councils. Dies allerdings nicht für immer sondern turnusmäßig als einer der F1-Konstrukteure. Vor ihm war das meines Wissens Ron Dennis.
