F1 owners want to remove Mohammed bin Sulayem from FIA post
They've even picked up a successor.
According to insiders, the owners of Formula One want to replace the president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), Mohammed Ben Sulayem, with another person.
In recent weeks, a serious information attack has been launched against the official in the press and on the Internet. The official was reminded of all his political and gender statements.
However, experts see the conspiracy of team owners against Mulayem in a completely different way. First, the teams don't like his financial policies.
Secondly, he actively advocates the expansion of the composition of the races, which the owners strongly oppose.
It is not yet clear what will end this confrontation, but in his place has already chosen a successor - the former director of teams BAR and Benetton Englishman David Richards. According to some reports, the Briton himself is ready to resign.
