FIA Member Clubs demand legal action against Ben Sulayem’s accusers.

Mohammed Bin Sulayem, the President of the FIA, is facing legal action from FIA Member Clubs and Federations in the Americas. These actions arise in response to recent accusations made against him. However, the FIA Ethics Committee has already cleared Ben Sulayem of any wrongdoing. The accusations involved his alleged interference in the outcome of the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix race and the certification of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Despite being cleared, members from 27 countries in the Americas have published a letter on the FIA website expressing their confidence in Ben Sulayem. The letter emphasizes that the Ethics Committee report unanimously absolved him of baseless accusations. It also highlights that the FIA President acted with integrity, transparency, and independence. The statement further suggests that the accusations made by certain media outlets were solely aimed at harming the FIA and its leadership. It states that the selection of the FIA President is solely the responsibility of its voting members and is not influenced by external parties. The letter concludes by recommending that the FIA take legal action against those who defame the organization and its leadership without justification. It reaffirms the confidence of the signatories in Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s leadership and his commitment to transforming the FIA into an ethical and transparent institution that better serves its members.
