‘Illusion of democracy’: Ben Sulayem’s last rival exits FIA presidential race

The FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) presidential election has been embroiled in controversy, as Tim Mayer, the last remaining challenger to Mohammed Ben Sulayem, has announced the end of his candidacy. Mayer, a former FIA senior steward, has accused the governing body of presenting an "illusion of democracy" in the election process, criticizing the lack of transparency and the threat it poses to the sport's future. Ben Sulayem will now be the sole candidate for the FIA presidency, as Mayer has acknowledged the incumbent's uncontested run due to the FIA's electoral regulations. The article highlights the concerns raised by Mayer, who was sacked from his FIA role last year, regarding the fairness and integrity of the election process.
