Mohammed Ben Sulayem set to remain FIA president after Mayer denied by arcane rule
Mohammed Ben Sulayem is set to remain as the president of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), the governing body of motorsports, after the last remaining challenger, Tim Mayer, is expected to withdraw on Friday due to an arcane election rule. Ben Sulayem has been accused of concentrating power during his tenure. Mayer, a former FIA senior steward, was one of three candidates who had initially announced their intention to oppose Ben Sulayem's re-election, alongside former racing driver Laura Villars and Belgian journalist Virginie Philippot. With Mayer's expected withdrawal, Ben Sulayem will now stand unopposed for another term as the FIA president, solidifying his grip on the organization's leadership.
