However,ꦕ in order for Ben Sulayem to be overthrown, “real miscond❀uct” must be proved, as per Sport1. 

Ben Sulayem has found himself at൩ the centre of several controversies ℱsince taking over from Jean Todt in December 2021. 

The FIA was forced to defend Ben Sulayem on Friday after sexist remarꦆks attributed to the president were publisജhed by The Times. 

Ben Sulayem 🍌is quoted on an archived version of his old website ꦫsaying he does “not like women who think they are smarter than men.” 

An FIA spokesperson responded: "The remarks in this archived website from 2001 do not reflect the preside꧋nt's beliefs.

“He has a strong record on promoting women and equality in sport, which he is happy to be judged on. It was a central part of his manifesto and actions taken this year and the many 💯years he served as vice-president for sport prove this.”

F1 also accused Ben Sulayem of making 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“unacceptable” comments about the value of tꦆhe sport in an explosive letter to the FIA. 

The two parties remain at log🐼gꦉerheads over several topics, including the potential future expansion of the F1 grid.
