The FIA presidential election is due to take place next month – however, it seems the outcome is a forgone conclusion.
The FIA has confirmed that Mohammed Ben Sulayem is the sole eligible candidate for the upcoming presidential election. Incumbent Ben Sulayem assumed the role in late 2021, succeeding Jean Todt after serving the maximum permitted three terms. Despite initial interest from other candidates, difficulties arose due to FIA’s requirement of a presidential list containing 10 figures, including seven vice presidents from different global regions. One candidate from South America needed to be included, but only one name was listed, Fabiana Ecclestone, who supports Ben Sulayem. Consequently, no other contenders could assemble a complete list of candidates.
