Mohammed ben Sulayem, the president of the FIA, is not happy with his performance. The members of the organization are tense, the drivers are nervous and according to ordinary fans it is definitely not a good direction for the sport to go...
The automobile union elections are being held in December, and now it looks like Sulayem will face another strong challenge in addition to dissatisfaction.
It was his idea, which was the most childish move in the history of sport, to punish drivers for swearing, which was made even stricter in 2025. Then there is the rape of the Monaco Grand Prix with other stops, to mention just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the fact that many valuable experts have left the association due to the dictatorial behavior of the sports management. More and more people are of the opinion that the FIA is no longer "a free organization", which raises serious concerns.
Some media sources report that Susie Wolff is seriously considering running for president. Toto Wolff's wife also has a personal grudge, as Sulayem would have investigated the couple for conflict of interest in 2023. The case caused such a stir that the FIA's top man soon stepped down, but the thorn in the side remains. Sulayem has so far only responded by saying he would be happy if he had a female challenger in the election.
Then it will become clear how sincere this joy is...
