He added: “In the course of the meeting, we discussed among all the attendees
the future wanted for the FIA and we reached the unanimous conclusion of the
importance of the continuity of Mr Todt as president of the FIA.
“That is why we agree altogether to give him a letter expressing our support,
in the case he presents for a second period.
“There was no external pressure to the regions, nor internal for the decision
taken among the first level leading figures of the clubs, both sport and
mobility.”
Tomasi added that Ward did not complain about support agreements in 2009 when
he was part of the team which helped to get Todt elected.
“A similar document was given to Jean Todt in the year 2009 in Mexico, known
as the ‘Agreement of Puebla’,” Tomasi wrote.
“In that electoral process, where you supported the candidacy of Todt, and
according to your words, ‘you are proud for [sic] have played a key role for
his electoral success’. The mentioned document did not deserve any public
objection on your side.”
