Jean Todt revela que Red Bull le buscó tras su salida de Ferrari

El ex director del equipo Ferrari, Jean Todt, reveló que Red Bull se puso en contacto con él tras su salida de la escudería en 2008, pero declinó la oferta. Todt compartió la historia durante su participación en el podcast High Performance, explicando su deseo de dedicarse a la filantropía. Más tarde, ocupó el cargo de presidente de la FIA desde 2009 hasta 2021.

Jean Todt dirigió Ferrari como director de equipo desde 1993 hasta 2007, guiando a la escudería a siete campeonatos de constructores y seis títulos de pilotos. Stefano Domenicali le sucedió en 2008. Todt también desempeñó cargos como director general desde 2004 y director ejecutivo desde 2006, renunciando como CEO en marzo de 2008 y dejando la junta directiva en marzo de 2009. El fundador de Red Bull, Dietrich Mateschitz, se puso entonces en contacto con él, visitando a Todt en su casa de París en dos ocasiones para almorzar y discutir la gestión de las operaciones del equipo y las actividades de automovilismo. Todt rechazó la propuesta, afirmando: 'Decidí en 2008 que era hora de devolver algo a la sociedad. Mi interés es devolver algo'. Destacó el cierre de ese capítulo tras dirigir 'una marca icónica con éxito', optando en su lugar por las labores humanitarias. 'Sería muy presuntuoso decir que estamos cambiando el mundo, pero incluso dar un poco, ver los ojos de las personas que lo necesitan, que sonríen, hacer sonreír a la gente, es una victoria', declaró Todt.
