Tim Mayer seeks vengeance against Mohammed Ben Sulayem in explosive FIA Presidential showdown

Tim Mayer is making waves in the motorsport world with his bold bid for the FIA Presidency, challenging the incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem head-on. The veteran steward has officially thrown his hat in the ring, setting the stage for a fierce battle for the top position in the governing body.

Mayer, known for his extensive experience in various roles within motorsport, including as an official and promoter, made his intentions clear during a press conference at the Whittlebury Hotel near Silverstone. His decision to run comes after Carlos Sainz opted out of the race, leaving Ben Sulayem seemingly unopposed until Mayer’s surprising announcement.

The rivalry between Mayer and Ben Sulayem has deep roots, with Mayer previously serving as an FIA steward before his dismissal in 2024, which he claims was a result of a clash with Ben Sulayem over an appeal document. Mayer’s criticisms of the current FIA leadership are scathing, accusing the organization of creating “illusions” of progress and transparency while centralizing power and stifling dissent.

In an exclusive interview, Mayer outlined his vision for the future of the FIA, emphasizing the importance of genuine democracy, transparency, and service to member clubs. He has garnered support from figures like David Richards, chairman of Motorsport UK, and is set to unveil his manifesto and cabinet members on July 15th, showcasing his commitment to a new era of leadership within the FIA.

Despite Ben Sulayem’s strong backing from key regions and clubs, Mayer remains undeterred, highlighting his plans to engage with member clubs globally and prioritize their needs and interests. With just five months until the election, Mayer’s campaign promises to shake up the status quo and challenge the incumbent’s stronghold on power.

As the race for the FIA Presidency heats up, all eyes are on Tim Mayer and Mohammed Ben Sulayem, set for a showdown that could reshape the landscape of motorsport governance. Stay tuned for more updates as the battle for leadership intensifies in the coming months.
