The 71-year-old Frenchman made the announcement in a letter to FIA club presidents, which he also posted on his Twitter feed.

Todt, a former Ferrari boss who led the team to multiple championships with Michael Schumacher, took over from Max Mosley, a Briton, in 2010 and won a second term in 2014.

"Over coming months, my team and I will lay out our detailed programme for the term ahead," he said.
