Carlos Sainz Sr’s decision to withdraw from the FIA presidential race was not surprising, although his son, Carlos Sainz Jr, expressed disappointment at the outcome. While many in the motorsport community may have hoped to see Sainz Sr take on the challenge, his decision was understood after considering the extensive commitments required for the role. Sainz Sr cited the need to focus on his responsibilities towards the Dakar rally and his team as reasons for his withdrawal. Despite leaving the possibility open for the future, Sainz Jr acknowledged that currently, his father is not interested in running for the FIA presidency. The governance of the FIA continues to be a topic of discussion, with questions arising after recent developments in F1’s penalty guidelines and a push for increased transparency. Sainz Jr highlighted the importance of drivers’ voices being heard and expressed hope for positive changes in the organization.
