The FIA released a statement regarding Tim Mayer’s unexpected candidacy to challenge incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem for the presidency of the motorsport governing body. The statement emphasized the organization’s commitment to impartiality and equal treatment of all candidates during the campaign. It reiterated the requirement for all FIA staff members to maintain strict neutrality throughout the election process, which will culminate in the general assemblies on 12th December. Mayer officially launched his campaign at a press conference near Silverstone during the British Grand Prix weekend, where he criticized the current administration as a “reign of terror.” Despite being removed as an F1 steward in November, Mayer denied seeking revenge and acknowledged the monumental effort required to defeat Ben Sulayem. His campaign focuses on the idea of evolving rather than revolutionizing the organization. Interested individuals can find the complete FIA statement on the forthcoming presidential election below.
