Prior to becoming FIA president, Todt was the ultra-successful team boss at Ferrari, where he oversaw the entire Michael Schumacher era and beyond. Corriere della Sera newspaper in Italy now reports that he may be coming back to Maranello in an advisory role, with talks between Todt and Ferrari chairman John Elkann said to have already taken place. According to sources, Todt’s role would leave the team principal role to Mattia Binotto, freeing up the Italian to focus on performance rather than politics. RMC Sport quotes Todt as saying that he is “a little bit sad” about stepping down as FIA president next Friday.
