Jean Todt held a media briefing at Istanbul Park on Sunday so low-key most journalists were not aware it had taken place.

In a rare meeting for the Frenchman with the press at a grand prix, his minders reportedly posted a notice in the media centre that was not seen by most journalists after qualifying.

Snippets of the press conference have however emerged, including those posted by BBC pitlane correspondent Ted Kravitz saying Jean Todt called the total in-season testing ban "stupid".

Jean Todt reportedly wants to allow teams to do a few tests next season, and if they do not agree he said the rule will definitely be introduced in 2013.
