In a thrilling turn of events in the world of motorsport politics, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the current president of the FIA, has officially announced his intention to run for a second term. The 63-year-old from the Emirates is gearing up for the upcoming election in December, ready to defend his position at the helm of the International Automobile Federation.

Ben Sulayem, who assumed office in December 2021 after triumphing over Graham Stoker, is now eyeing a re-election to continue his mission of advancing motorsport and strengthening the FIA. With no official opponents yet, all eyes are on Carlos Sainz Sr., the legendary rally champion and father of F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr., who might pose a formidable challenge.

Rumors had circulated about Ben Sulayem potentially blocking Sainz Sr.’s candidacy due to alleged conflicts of interest, given his son’s racing career. However, in a surprising turn of events, the incumbent president has given the green light to Sainz Sr.’s possible candidacy, stating, “Let him run. It’s democracy.”

As the motorsport community braces for a potentially intense political showdown, Ben Sulayem’s willingness to face off against Sainz Sr. adds a new layer of excitement and anticipation to the upcoming FIA election. Stay tuned for more updates as the battle for leadership in the world of motorsport heats up.
