Why one F1 team boss is “convinced” Mohammed Ben Sulayem drama will stop soon
Ben Sulayem has dominated the F1 mꦛedia headlines ﷺduring the off-season over a range of issues.
He started the year off by for new teams to join the sport by opening the "express🐼ions of interest"
their intention to join F1 by 2026 - something that was met by a lukewarm☂ reception by F1.
The drama continued as he took to social media again to questi🔯on the “inflated” by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
His comments didn’t go down well with F1 or its owners Liberty Media, with the sport’s lawyers writing to th☂e FIA to criticise Ben Sulayem for commenting on such matters.

With the F1 season𝕴 starting in just over a month in Bahrain, Vasseur is confident the drama surrounding the FIA president will calm down once the racing action gets underway.
“I'm really convinced that as soon as we will put the cars on track, this will disappear a little bit o✤ff the screen,” Vasseur said. “For sure we'll have discussions but, as always, I hope that we'll be able to stay 🐷focused on the sporting side.”
While Vasseur has a point, it’s unlikely the drama surrounding Ben Sulayem will go away, particularly given the FIA’s stance on political gesturꦍes.
It’s likely going to be a question that is raised t♑o the drivers, like Lewis Hamilton, during the early days of pr𝔍e-season testing.
