The FIA president is frustrated at the lack of credit given to the world motorsport governing body.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem believes the governing body doesn’t receive the credit it deserves for its improvements in motorsport, but instead faced criticism. Since Ben Sulayem took office in December 2021, the FIA has implemented programs to train race directors, marshals, and stewards, as well as established a remote operations center to aid race control. At the Red Bull Ring, a new track limits system was introduced, mostly approved by F1 drivers. Despite these efforts, Ben Sulayem feels the FIA will never receive due credit, stating, “We’ll only get rubbish. That I know.” He also emphasizes that while many benefit financially from the FIA, the organization itself often goes unrecognized. Ben Sulayem acknowledges the positive changes brought by Liberty Media to F1, supporting their work but wishing for a more equal partnership with the FIA. He envisions a future where both entities are on equal footing, working together to ensure the sport’s success and prosperity for all involved.
