Mohammed Ben Sulayem Begins His Second Term at the FIA
The Emirati Mohammed Ben Sulayem officially begins a new cycle at the helm of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. The General Assembly, held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, confirmed his continuity without another candidate emerging, extending his leadership until 2029 🏁.
An Electoral Process Without Competition
The vote in the Uzbek capital ratified Ben Sulayem for a new four-year term. This scenario, lacking opposition, demonstrates the broad internal support he maintains within the federation that governs global motorsport. His initial election in 2021 already represented a generational change, taking over from the Frenchman Jean Todt.
Context of his first term:- Manage the commercial and sporting expansion of Formula 1.
- Integrate new teams into the top-level landscape.
- Promote projects to make motorsport more sustainable and accessible.
Reelection without contenders avoids an electoral campaign, which some sectors see as a way to optimize resources.
Immediate Challenges for the FIA
Now, his second term must consolidate the policies initiated and direct the technical and regulatory evolution of all categories under the FIA umbrella. Motor sport faces an era of accelerated transformation ⚡.
Main focuses of the new term:- Consolidate environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.
- Direct the technical evolution of competitions.
- Supervise sporting balance and the integration of new teams.
Perspectives Until 2029
With the path cleared after his reelection, Ben Sulayem has the opportunity to implement a long-term vision for the FIA. The goal will be to guide the federation through the technological and social changes that define the future of global motorsport 🏎️.
