Former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt has been elected president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

The Frenchman beat his only rival, Ari Vatanen, in a secret vote of FIA's general assembly in Paris.
He will succeed Max Mosley as the head of world motorsport's governing body following the Briton's decision to stand down after 16 years in the job.
Todt, who had been a strong favorite after receiving the backing of Mosley and Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone, gained 135 votes compared with Vatanen's 49. There were 12 abstentions/invalid votes.
