Many are not happy with the performance of FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem. The organization's members are tense, the drivers are nervous and according to ordinary fans, it is not a good direction for the sport to go...
The election of a new leadership in the automobile federation will take place in December, and now it looks like Sulayem will face another strong challenger in addition to dissatisfaction.
His idea was the most childish step in the history of the sport, namely the punishment of swearing drivers, which will be even stricter by 2025. Then there is the rape of the Monaco Grand Prix with extra stops, to mention just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the fact that a number of valuable experts have left the federation due to the dictatorial behavior of the sporting director. More and more people are saying that the FIA is no longer "a free organization", which is a serious concern.
According to some media, Susie Wolff is seriously considering running for president. In addition, Toto Wolff's wife has a personal feeling of resentment and involvement in relation to Sulayem, because he (would) investigate the Wolff couple in 2023 for a conflict of interest. This incident caused such a stir that the FIA's first man quickly backed down, but the thorn certainly remains in the other side. So far, Sulayem has only responded that he is looking forward to having a female challenger in the elections.
Only then will it become clear how sincere this joy is...
