ah yes.

Todt - that great day (para phrasing) go to Bahrain, the Country & the Grand Prix is completely safe. nothing to worry about

reporter - so you will be in Bahrain for the Grand Prix

Todt - Well id love to but ive got a prior arrangement

He is, sadly, an open and running joke in the paddock.

Ben Sulayem’s mishaps and meddling leave F1 asking if FIA is fit for purpose

Resignations of Steve Nielsen and Deborah Mayer, plus the Wolff investigation, have left a distrust and conflict in the sport

It's all going to come crashing down within the next couple of years.

Anyone wants his job, he just is making a fool of himself

 

[F1Brits_90]

well he is on borrowed time, you cannot have the head of F1 trying to sabotage liberty media if that was his plan. because he's upset at Andretti

"I'm on my way!"

 

[Dartman]

I always worry about heads of organisations being appointed from the middle east and further, it's a well known fact the further east you go from western Europe the greater the bribery and corruption and there are some dodgy countries to the east of western Europe

 

[Brogan]

Based on my experience, its no different in Europe, the UK, and US.

I recall setting up a new office for Nokia in Greece way back when, and I was given a sack of cash to "assist" getting things set up.

 

[Dartman]

I'm not saying it isn't here, it's just that it increases the further east you go and Greece is further east than here on a grander scale. Some countries accept it as part of business.
