The 71-year-old Frenchman took over from Max Mosley in 2009 and won a second four-year term in 2013.

The FIA said on its website (www.fia.com) that the former Ferrari team boss was the only candidate whose electoral list had been received by the official deadline.

The vote will be held at the Annual General Assembly on Dec. 8 in Paris.
