Sebastian Vettel as the FIA president? The four-time champion has addressed the idea.
Sebastian Vettel has discussed the potential of running for the presidency of the FIA, following his recent denial of returning to F1.
He has been linked to possibly replacing Helmut Marko as Red Bull’s motorsport advisor.
Vettel has not closed the door on the idea, and former F1 boss Ross Brawn once considered him a suitable FIA president candidate.
However, current president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is up for re-election, facing competition from Tim Mayer, who aims to end Ben Sulayem’s controversial first term.
It is expected that Ben Sulayem will secure a second term, with Vettel unlikely to run in the upcoming election.
Vettel acknowledges his limited knowledge of the FIA president’s responsibilities and has not built a team required for candidacy.
