At least three more serious prospective candidates may have emerged in the event that Max Mosley is forced to step down as FIA president following Tuesday's Paris vote.

We previously reported that well-known F1 personalities Jean Todt, the former Ferrari boss, and Toro Rosso co-owner and former grand prix winner Gerhard Berger, could be amongst the frontrunners to inherit control of the sport's global governing body.

It was also recently reported that it may be current French prime minister Francois Fillon's "dream" to be FIA president.

The German news agency SID on Monday published a list of other probable candidates, including Marco Piccinini, the Italian deputy president of the FIA, who at Monaco replaced the scandal-gripped Mosley as the official on-site FIA representative.

Also mentioned by the agency was 57-year-old Hermann Tomczyk, a high ranking German motor racing official and current FIA vice president, as well as Prof. Jurgen Hubbert, 68, the former long-time chief of the manufacturer DaimlerChrysler.
