Vatanen promises FIA code of ethics if elected

2009-10-19 17:30:00

FIA presidential candidate Ari Vatanen said he will introduce a code of ethics to Formula One's governing body if he wins Friday's election.

The Finnish candidate, who is vying with former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt to replace Max Mosley, said Monday that the code would cover all senior officials.

"Such codes of behavior are the norm in the modern world of public life and business, where the need for ethical standards and transparent work practices are the key to public confidence," Vatanen said in a statement.

Vatanen has promised big changes to the governing body of F1, which has been mired in scandals and off-track controversies in recent years. Mosley survived a confidence vote last year after being involved in sex acts with five prostitutes.

"The FIA is at a crossroads and you have the power to take it on the right road," Vatanen said in a letter addressed to the heads of motor sports federations around the world.
