FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem accepts criticisms over the report into F1's 2021 Abu Dhabi finale - but insists the governing body's processes have improved ⬇️
Ben Sulayem took over control of motor racing’s governing body just days after the scandal of last year’s F1 season finale, when the sport faced accusations of the title outcome having been manipulated.
Speaking to selected media, including Motorsport.com, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Friday, Ben Sulayem explained that it was probably not ideal for him to have had to face such a serious matter so soon in to his presidency. He added: “I inherited something. And I will say no blame game. But when I got it, I'm just learning more about the transparency.
“I see your point in saying, at that time, maybe the [Abu Dhabi] report was not enough. But the transparency, that was a good attempt of the transparency. Masi was eventually removed from his role as race director and replaced by a new system that alternated between Eduardo Freitas and Niels Wittich.
