FIA president Ben Sulayem at centre of further allegations over Las Vegas homologation
According to a report from the BBC, a whistleblower alleges they were instructed by the FIA president not to homologate the street track before the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November. The delay in inspection was due to local construction works. The whistleblower claims to have been tasked with finding issues with the venue by Ben Sulayem, but no concerns were found. Ben Sulayem refuted the claim, stating he supported the homologation of the new track. In an interview, he emphasized the importance of collaboration between the FIA and FOM for the well-being of the sport. Ben Sulayem also faces accusations of trying to overturn a penalty for Fernando Alonso in the Saudi Arabian GP. Autosport has reached out to the FIA for a response.
