A new challenger has emerged to rival Mohammed Ben Sulayem in the FIA presidential race.
Former F1 steward Tim Mayer announced his candidacy against Mohammed Ben Sulayem for the next FIA president.
Mayer, who was a race steward in F1 for 15 years, confirmed his run during a press conference near Silverstone ahead of the British Grand Prix.
His decision came after being dismissed by Ben Sulayem last November and following Carlos Sainz Sr’s withdrawal from the race.
Mayer criticized Ben Sulayem’s leadership, citing unfulfilled promises and a lack of transparency within the FIA.
He aims to prioritize supporting member clubs, fostering professional officiating, and bringing about necessary changes in the organization.
