Jean Todt has been elected to a third and final term as president of motorsport's governing body, the FIA.

The Frenchman has held the position since 2009 and stood unopposed for this latest stint, which will place him in charge until 2021. Rules stipulate it will be his final term as president.

Todt has promised to place "innovation, advocacy and the development of a strong network of mobility and sport clubs" front and centre of his last stint in charge.

"Innovation is essential if the FIA is to continue to improve and take its rightful place in the world as the leader in mobility and motorsport development," he said.
