F1 team bosses warn against ‘prejudging’ FIA president amid investigation
A whistleblower has raised two accusations against Ben Sulayem, as initially reported by the BBC. The first claim is regarding his involvement in attempting to overturn a penalty at last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, concerning Fernando Alonso. The second allegation involves putting pressure on officials to not homologate the Las Vegas GP street circuit before an F1 event. The FIA has stated that they are assessing these concerns involving certain members of the governing bodies. F1 team principals, including Christian Horner and James Vowles, emphasized the need for a thorough investigation and cautioned against premature judgments. Mike Krack from Aston Martin stated that the matter is closed for his team, as they successfully utilized the FIA Right to Review process to overturn the penalty in question.
