FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has vehemently denied accusations of sexism, claiming he has been the target of an “inhuman” smear campaign.
Earlier this year, Ben Sulayem faced backlash and accusations of sexism after a quote from his old website surfaced, in which he expressed his dislike for women who think they are smarter than men. In response to these claims, Ben Sulayem vehemently denied any misogyny and emphasized that his statement was about both genders feeling insecure when the other thinks they are smarter. He also highlighted his efforts to promote gender equality within the FIA, including appointing a female CEO and creating a commission for equality, diversity, and inclusion. Ben Sulayem dismissed further allegations of discriminatory behavior, such as claims made by Shaila-Ann Rao, former interim secretary general for motorsport, and called for direct confrontation instead of fabrications. He expressed a desire for open dialogue to challenge and prove any accusations made against him.
