Amid an internal restructuring, F1’s governing body, the FIA, has sacked its head of sustainability, inclusion and diversity.
During an internal restructuring, the FIA has dismissed its head of sustainability, inclusion, and diversity, Sara Mariani, who took on the role in 2023 but was let go less than two years into her tenure. The decision to vacate her position was made after a review period, amid sweeping changes within the organization. Mariani’s responsibilities have been divided, with sustainability now under the secretary general for mobility and diversity and inclusion under the senior human resources director. This move has put added pressure on FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who is approaching the end of his first term and looking to extend his presidency despite facing controversies and dissent within the executive body. Despite recent upheavals, Ben Sulayem has garnered significant support from 36 FIA-affiliated member clubs for his re-election bid during the upcoming presidential elections.
