Sulayem has been praised for his leadership, financial stewardship, and global positioning of the FIA, prompting calls for his reelection. Key figures like Fabiana Ecclestone and Carmelo Sanz de Barros have prominently backed Sulayem in the upcoming election, signaling strong support for his administration. The letter of support cites Sulayem’s accomplishments, calling for his continuation in office to further his reform agenda, showing faith in his leadership skills and future prospects.
