Mohamed Ben Sulayem scores political points as FIA passes controversial changes

The FIA's General Assembly voted through changes to the governing body's statutes and ethics code, despite criticism from certain factions

Mohamed Ben Sulayem, the president of the FIA, has stirred controversy by publicly supporting the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, amidst the backdrop of the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. In a tweet, Ben Sulayem praised the crown prince's leadership and vision, which has led to significant backlash given the prince's controversial reputation, particularly linked to the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Critics argue that Ben Sulayem's comments are inappropriate and politically charged, especially considering the FIA's role in overseeing Formula 1, which aims to remain apolitical. The situation has sparked debate about the intersection of sports and politics, with many calling for the FIA to maintain neutrality and focus on the sport rather than engaging in political endorsements.
