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.

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

Does Colapinto have shares in crash repairs and spare parts companies?

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

I'm imagining Logan Sargeant sitting at home on the couch with a beer and chips laughing at the TV....

A strange race, no crashes??
PIA gets a penalty, SAI doesnt??
Mercs were the quickest but strange even they dont know why....

Quote of the Day to Max....talking to Zak Brown...This is how I beat you in a slower car!

Agree
It was a good race but some ??? decisions.
Like watching a video game with all that gaudy trashy advertising and blobbo the advertising clown inside the track popping up with driver profiles
Well done VER (even though not a fave of mine)
Better luck next time papayas

Next season will be a cracker, hopefully, with 4 teams going at it from the start.
Another decent race at Vegas I thought.
Strange Lando and George only got a fine for their Aborted Start shenanigans in Brazil, Oscar cops 5 seconds for a couple of centremetres "transgression", no advantage gained

2 races to go, c'mon #81 papaya
