| + | <html>FIA Foundation Dir General David Ward "has resigned his position" in order to "challenge for the presidency of the FIA," according to Tom Cary of the London TELEGRAPH. Incumbent FIA President Jean Todt,[http://obdpedia.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lhvdwyolacsf#Kathleen_Hanna_On_Working_Through_Illness_And_Focusing_Anger Kathleen Hanna On Working Through Illness And Focusing Anger], who is on a business trip in Africa, "has still not confirmed whether or not he intends to stand for a second term." The Frenchman "has been a divisive president." No other potential candidates "have yet put their names forward" (). REUTERS' Alan Baldwin reported Ward,[http://wiki.hackerspace.com.ua/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lmxfttfuoqwy#4_of_5_schools_beef_up_policy_after_Penn_State 4 of 5 schools beef up policy after Penn State], who was a key adviser to former FIA President Max Mosley, "has led the Foundation since it was set up in 2001 as an independent charitable body with a focus on road safety and the environment." He "was also a policy advisor to the late British Labour Party leader John Smith, who died in 1994,[http://jahnel-verlag.de/wikifreising/index.php/Benutzer:Lplzbmhtwkxp#MLB_Scores-_Miami_Marlins_0.2C_Washington_Nationals_9 MLB Scores- Miami Marlins 0, Washington Nationals 9], and was then director general of the FIA's European Bureau in Brussels" (). AUTOSPORT's Jonathan Noble reported "having revealed several weeks ago that he was considering putting himself forward as a candidate, Ward has decided to resign from his Foundation role to focus on an election campaign." Ward: "Election processes inevitably involve robust and lively debate,[http://smw.iranyar.com/index.php?title=%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Lhvuwgdyxdjb#Rays_down_on_the_farm_August_31-_Delmon_homers Rays down on the farm August 31- Delmon homers], and whilst the Foundation is independent and there is no legal requirement for me to resign, I believe that it is in the best interests of the charity that I stand down now." Ward's position as director general "will be taken temporarily by his deputy Saul Billingsley before a permanent successor is appointed" ().<br> | ||

Ecclestone "will face criminal charges in a German court in the next few weeks, while Todt s leadership has been questioned right from the start of his presidency." | ||
