Williams team principal James Vowles has expressed support for Carlos Sainz Sr potentially running for the FIA presidency, believing the former World Rally champion would be a suitable candidate. Sainz Sr, father of current Williams F1 driver Carlos Sainz, is considering challenging incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem for the FIA’s top position, dismissing claims of a conflict of interest due to his son’s F1 involvement. Vowles emphasized that Sainz Sr’s extensive experience and hands-off approach to his son’s career reduce the likelihood of any complications arising if he were to win the election. Additionally, Vowles noted Sainz Sr’s diverse motorsport background and previous leadership roles, indicating his suitability for the presidency. Sainz Sr is expected to evaluate his candidacy in the coming weeks before officially entering the race, with support from various sectors of the motorsport community being a crucial factor in his decision-making process.
