FIA Scandal Unveiled: Resignation, Isolation, and Power Struggles Rock Motorsport Governance

Revolutionary Decision: FIA Sparks Debate on V10 Engine Return in F1

Former FIA Deputy Chief Exposes Corruption and Unfair Treatment Within Motorsport Governing Body

In a shocking turn of events, former FIA deputy president of sport, Robert Reid, has stepped forward to reveal the dark truth behind his recent resignation. Reid expressed his inability to work “within a system that no longer reflected the standards” he believed in, shedding light on the corruption and lack of integrity within the organization.

The bombshell resignation came on the eve of the Bahrain Grand Prix, where Reid decided to walk away from his position due to mounting frustrations with the leadership of FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Despite his efforts to bring about positive change within the FIA, Reid found himself at odds with the governance principles being disregarded and his concerns falling on deaf ears.

In a detailed account on Substack, Reid disclosed, “I spoke up when I felt fundamental principles were being eroded… raising legitimate concerns was not always welcomed, and I experienced firsthand how challenging the status quo can lead to exclusion rather than dialogue.” The mistreatment escalated to the point where Reid was isolated, including the abrupt shutdown of his work email.

The final straw for Reid was the FIA’s decision to take control of the World Rallycross Championship, a move that could potentially lead to legal complications. Reid delves deeper into this matter in his revelations, highlighting the concerning actions taken by the governing body.

Prior to his resignation, Reid faced adversity when he was denied entry to a World Motor Sport Council meeting for not signing a new Non-Disclosure Agreement. This refusal triggered the alleged closure of his email by the FIA, leaving Reid in a state of unfair treatment and isolation.

Despite receiving an outpouring of support from individuals within the FIA, many chose to remain silent for fear of retaliation, underscoring the toxic environment within the organization. Reid emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in governance, urging for a collaborative approach rather than one driven by control and silence.

The Race has reached out to the FIA for comment on these troubling revelations, but as of now, the governing body has not responded. Reid remains committed to upholding confidentiality obligations and respecting legal responsibilities, vowing not to disclose any confidential information received during his tenure.

The exposé by Robert Reid has sent shockwaves through the motorsport world, unveiling a web of corruption, mistreatment, and lack of accountability within the FIA. As the story unfolds, the spotlight is now on the FIA to address these serious allegations and restore faith in the integrity of the sport.
