A new era has begun for the FIA: Sulayem

Ben Sulayem became the FIA President in December after he took over from Jean Todt. The overhauling of the FIA is the first major step that he has taken in his presidency.

“A new era has begun for the FIA, through the creation of a governance framework based on openness and international diversity. This is a key pillar of our strategy and I warmly thank the members of the World Board who approved the changes,” said Ben Sulayem.

“The accountability and authority of the World Council, which emanates from our members, will be increased. A more effective oversight model will be designed, stakeholder priorities will be aligned, and a cost-effective and accountable operation of the FIA ​​will be ensured.

To achieve these goals, the federation’s governing bodies and administration will work closely together to make the FIA ​​the global voice of motorsport and mobility,” said Ben Sulayem.

Well, this certainly is a big change from the old regime made by Ben Sulayem. It is good to see that the organization is preparing itself for an overhaul of this magnitude. Let’s wait and watch how this new modernized structure works out.
