Nicolas Todt

Nicolas Todt (born 17 November 1977 in Le Chesnay, Yvelines) is the son of former Ferrari Formula One team principal Jean Todt, and manager of current Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa[1] and Jules Bianchi.[2] He is the co-owner of the GP2 Series team ART Grand Prix.[3][4]

Todt is seen as being very influential in Massa's move from Sauber to Ferrari. There were rumours in mid-2007 that Todt could take over Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula One team, but Toro Rosso team owner Gerhard Berger dismissed the rumours.[5]
