Motorsport UK boss David Richards has penned a further open letter after correspondence with the FIA.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been accused of a ‘power grab’ in an open letter written by Motorsport UK chairman David Richards. Richards expressed concerns about Ben Sulayem’s failure to fulfill election promises and limitations on audit and ethics committees. The letter highlighted a dispute over a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that led to Richards being banned from a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council. The FIA defended the NDA, stating it is standard practice in business and essential for confidentiality. Richards criticized the FIA for concentrating power in the president’s hands and raised legal concerns about his removal from the WMSC. Despite facing age restrictions preventing his candidacy for FIA presidency, Richards continues to push for transparency and open discourse in the organization.
