How much longer before Ben Sulayem’s position is deemed as untenable?

Yet another one resigns …. Paolo Basarri is the FIA compliance officer and the official who “coincidentally” compiled a report into allegations that Ben Sulayem interfered in the operations of two races during the 2023 season.

BTW Ben Sulayen he’s up for re-election next year.

Also read elsewhere no-one wants to stand against him.

It's a global vote, and much like organisations like FIFA, there are ways to sway some of the nations reps.

less happy I am committed to mother-in-law bday celebration 4pm-7pm, locked in in advance and I didn't realise it clashed with the civilised-time Vegas F1 (was there in person last year)

I am very angry about both the test match (cricket) and F1 this weekend. I have an exam on Sunday! This is NOT helping me study.

Watching the Qualis in Vegas looks like a giant TV commercial with a car race attached. Soooooo many billboards

Hopefully makes Alpine think twice given the rumours re Colapinto v Doohan

PIA gets a penalty, SAI doesnt??
Mercs were the quickest but strange even they dont know why....
