Ex-F1 drivers to 'assist' stewards
Discussion
"An commissioner will also be appointed to deal with F1 on Todt's behalf.
When asked about his choice of the new F1 commissioner, Mr Todt said 'Some may consider Max to be a controversial choice, but he brings many years of experience to the role, and I'm sure he can be relied on to act in a fair way to recognise the views of both the FIA and the commercial rights holders. Oh yes, and the F1 teams.'"

I wonder if he still believes in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy tooWhen asked about his choice of the new F1 commissioner, Mr Todt said 'Some may consider Max to be a controversial choice, but he brings many years of experience to the role, and I'm sure he can be relied on to act in a fair way to recognise the views of both the FIA and the commercial rights holders.

Todt hasn't said who will be the commissioner yet, nice wind up post though. 
That position wont have any clout in terms of making decisions, it's just a reporting/co-ordinating role to take the hands on requirement away from the president.
Sounds like a good bit of re-organising is going on, which looks very positive if they choose the correct people. Having mainly a perminant steward group with no perminant chairman, aka Donelly, is also a step in the right direction.
I was very much an Ari supporter, but if Todt can work through this in the way he is showing so far and does indeed choose non-controversial/political people for the roles we may get to see a more balanced approach under his regime. I'm hoping so.
