Jean Todt revela que a Red Bull o procurou após sua saída da Ferrari

O ex-chefe da equipe Ferrari, Jean Todt, revelou que a Red Bull o abordou após sua saída da equipe em 2008, mas ele recusou a oferta. Todt compartilhou a história durante uma participação no podcast High Performance, explicando seu desejo de dedicar-se à filantropia. Mais tarde, ele serviu como presidente da FIA de 2009 a 2021.

Jean Todt liderou a Ferrari como chefe de equipe de 1993 a 2007, guiando o time a sete campeonatos de construtores e seis títulos de pilotos. Stefano Domenicali o sucedeu em 2008. Todt também ocupou cargos como diretor geral a partir de 2004 e CEO a partir de 2006, renunciando ao cargo de CEO em março de 2008 e deixando o conselho em março de 2009. O fundador da Red Bull, Dietrich Mateschitz, então o procurou, visitando Todt em sua casa em Paris para almoçar em duas ocasiões para discutir a gestão das operações e atividades de automobilismo da equipe. Todt rejeitou a proposta, declarando: 'Decidi em 2008 que era hora de retribuir. Meu interesse é retribuir.' Ele enfatizou o fechamento daquele capítulo após gerenciar 'uma marca icônica com sucesso', optando por esforços humanitários. 'Seria muito presunçoso dizer que estamos mudando o mundo, mas mesmo dar um pouco, ver os olhos de pessoas que precisam, que sorriem, fazer as pessoas sorrirem, é uma vitória', disse Todt.
