US EditionAmerican Candidate Tim Mayer Confirms He's Running Against FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem
- On July 3, 2025, American Tim Mayer announced he will run against incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem for FIA president at a Silverstone press conference.
- Mayer, a former FIA steward fired last November via text by an assistant to Ben Sulayem, decided to run after assessing his chances to unseat the Emirati incumbent.
- The FIA oversees Formula One, the World Rally Championship, and additional series, and Ben Sulayem has confirmed his intention to pursue a second term in office.
- Mayer expressed his dissatisfaction with how his termination was handled, criticizing the decision to dismiss someone who had contributed greatly via a text message, which he felt reflected poorly on the federation’s leadership.
- Mayer's entry into the race likely prevents other candidates from joining and signals a serious challenge ahead of the December 12 FIA election.
