FIA president proposes changes to governing body

  • FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem has proposed changes to the governing body's statutes ahead of the December elections at the FIA General Assembly.
  • The proposals aim to add a clause requiring candidates to have no record questioning their professional integrity, a change intended to improve consistency but seen as potentially barring opponents, including Carlos Sainz Sr.
  • Carlos Sainz Sr, a two-time World Rally Champion and father of F1 driver Carlos Sainz, has expressed interest in running, but the new ethics rules could cause conflicts of interest preventing his candidacy.
  • James Vowles, Williams team principal, supported Sainz Sr.'s potential candidacy by saying he would be a "good fit", while critics suggest the changes consolidate Ben Sulayem's control over FIA committees responsible for election oversight.
  • If the changes pass, Ben Sulayem could strengthen his influence by limiting candidate eligibility and controlling key bodies, indicating a potential centralization of power within the FIA.
