The organizer of FIA World Championships in the United States, Tim Mayer, has criticized Mohammed Ben Sulayem after being dismissed by the governing body. Mayer revealed that he was fired through a text message by one of the president’s assistants, following a recent right of review he had to conduct for the United States Grand Prix organizers. The appeal focused on the language used to describe a post-race track invasion at Circuit of the Americas last month. Mayer stated that despite the official reason given of a conflict of interest, he believes he was fired unfairly after dedicating over 12 years to the FIA. Additionally, Formula 2 deputy race director Janette Tan is also leaving, leading to concerns about the stability within the FIA raised by drivers like George Russell. The departures of key figures within the organization, including recent exits of Niels Wittich, Paolo Basarri, and others, have sparked worries about transparency and consistency among FIA members.
