Carlos Sainz’s Decision
The rally legend Carlos Sainz has confirmed he will not stand for election as the president of the FIA. This announcement leaves a significant gap in the leadership landscape of motorsport, especially with Ben Sulayem currently at the helm.
By stepping back from the race for presidency, Sainz opens the door for discussions regarding the future of FIA governance. His decision raises questions about the potential candidates who could challenge the current president. Without a strong opponent, Ben Sulayem may have an easier path to continue his presidency. The motorsport community is left to ponder what this means for the future of the FIA and its influence on racing.
