FIA presidential candidate Laura Villars has not ruled out a legal challenge against the governing body and has raised what she says are “legitimate concerns” about the election process
Laura Villars, a candidate for FIA presidency, has expressed concerns about the election process and has not ruled out a legal challenge against the governing body. Other presidential candidates may be unable to stand against current president Mohammed Ben Sulayem due to difficulties in forming the required presidential list. Ben Sulayem seems to be the only candidate able to fulfill the requirements, including having a vice president from South America on the World Motor Sport Council. Villars, along with Tim Mayer and Virginie Philippot, may not make it onto the ballot if they cannot form a presidential list by the October 24 deadline. Villars has raised issues about recent procedural changes in the election rules and stated that all options, including legal actions, are being considered to ensure compliance with FIA statutes regarding governance, transparency, and democracy. The FIA has not provided any comments on the matter.
