Thanks to the performance of FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem, many are not happy. Members of the organization are tense, drivers are nervous, and fans feel that the direction the sport is heading is not good at all...
In December, an election will be held within the motorsport federation, and now it seems very likely that, in addition to dissatisfaction, Sulayem will have another strong competitor.
His idea was the most childish move in the history of sports, sanctioning drivers who swear, and for 2025 the rules have been tightened even more. Then there is the violation of the Monaco Grand Prix by extra stops, just to mention the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the fact that the dictatorial behavior of the sports leader has led many valuable specialists to leave the federation. More and more people believe that the FIA is no longer a "free organization", which raises very serious problems.
According to some publications, Susie Wolff is seriously considering the possibility of running for president. Toto Wolff's wife also has a personal grudge and involvement with Sulayem, given that he tried to investigate (in 2023) the incompatibility of the Wolff couple. The case caused so much outrage that the FIA leader quickly stepped down, but the sting certainly remains on the other side. Sulayem has so far only reacted by saying that she would be happy if she had a female opponent in the election.
Then we will have to see how sincere this joy is...
