Mohammed Ben Sulayem receives necessary support from 30 member clubs in the Americas after being cleared of recent accusations. Formula and the FIA have gone through a challenging period, with the sport involved in controversies, including two serious accusations against the FIA President. However, the 62-year-old was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Ethics Committee of the sports regulatory body after an investigation. Now, Ben Sulayem has received support from several FIA member clubs.
In response to the accusations, Ben Sulayem wrote a letter to the members of the sports regulatory body, stating that the accusations made against him were an attack on the FIA. He was accused of interfering in the outcome of an F1 race and allegedly trying to suppress the Las Vegas GP.
Representatives of 30 member clubs in the Americas sent a letter to the FIA President, recommending that the sports regulatory body legally prosecute those who falsely accused and defamed both the FIA and Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
Furthermore, the clubs emphasized that the accusations against the FIA, which were spread on various media platforms, were primarily aimed at causing harm to the sports regulatory body and its leadership. The letter also highlighted that the FIA Ethics Committee concluded that Mohammed Ben Sulayem acted with integrity and transparency.
The representatives stated that the selection of the FIA President was done in accordance with the regulatory body’s statutes. Additionally, any external interference had no impact on Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s position.
La lettre a exprimé un vote public de confiance envers Ben Sulayem de la part des 30 clubs. Les représentants ont noté que le monsieur de 62 ans est resté engagé à transformer la FIA et à garantir la transparence. Il convient de noter que Lewis Hamilton avait précédemment critiqué la FIA pour son manque de transparence dans une enquête sur un conflit d’intérêts impliquant Susie Wolff.
Fabiana Ecclestone, Vice-Présidente de l’Amérique du Sud pour les sports et épouse de l’ancien Suprême de la F1 Bernie Ecclestone, a également signé cette lettre.
Les 30 clubs de différents pays ont montré une foi inébranlable envers Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Le Président de la FIA avait besoin de ce soutien des membres après avoir fait face à de dures critiques de la part des fans et des critiques ces dernières semaines. Cependant, il reste à voir comment la communauté de la F1 réagira à la position renforcée de Ben Sulayem.
