    Geez, should not have to explain this one. Mr. Organization makes Peugeot a winner, then helps Ferrari with a bunch of WDCs. a bit strange looking, but then Michele is a classic beauty. Todt must wear large shoes.

    Amazing tonight how the pain pills help me see clearer.

    Undeniably, one of the greatest leaders in the history of auto racing.
    After a successful career as a co-driver in WRC, he became the Managing Director of Peugeot Talbot Sport in 1982.
    He lead the Peugeot team to:
    - the WRC title (both drivers' and manufacturers') in 1985 and 1986
    - the World Sportscar Championship (both drivers' and manufacturers') in 1992
    - 2 victories at the 24h of Le Mans (1992,1993)
    - 4 victories at the Paris-Dakar Rally (1987,1988,1989,1990)
    - even a win at Pikes Peak in 1988
    With such a resume, Luca di Montezemolo hired him and he became the first non-italian General Manager of the Racing Division of Ferrari on July 1, 1993.
    At that time, the Scuderia had not won an F1 World Championship since 1979.
    After a 4 year race win drought, the first success came at the 1994 German Grand Prix (Berger - barely one year after Todt got the job).
    In 1996, he brought MS in. In 1997, Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne. The rest is history. Under his tenure:
    - 98 F1 victories
    - 6 Drivers' Word Championships including 5 in a row by MS (first and only time so far in F1 history) and 1 by Kimi
    - 7 Manufacturers' World Championships
    In addition to his duties to the Racing Division, he became CEO of Ferrari in 2004, then Special Advisor.
    In order to run for FIA President, he resigned all his functions within Ferrari in March 2009.
    He became FIA President in October of 2009 and still is today, as such, one of the most influential men in auto racing.
