Two-time WRC champion Carlos Sainz Sr is considering running for FIA president and is gauging support from the FIA’s member automotive clubs before making a final decision, as revealed by Motorsport.com last week. Sebastien Ogier has expressed his support for Sainz should the legend decide to enter the race against Mohammed Ben Sulayem for the presidency. Sainz Sr’s potential candidacy follows M-Sport-Ford founder Malcolm Wilson’s nomination by Ben Sulayem for the FIA deputy president for sport role. Cyril Abiteboul, Hyundai boss, welcomed the idea of multiple candidates for the FIA presidency election and highlighted the importance of giving voters a choice. The WRC service park in Portugal has positively reacted to the FIA’s revision of penalties for swearing in Appendix B of its International Sporting Code, a change supported by WRC drivers and the new World Rally Drivers Alliance (WoRDA). Sebastien Ogier noted the positive impact of these changes and expressed appreciation for the efforts made by WoRDA in advocating for them.
