There’s a legal challenge coming in Feb due to that fact that it is virtually impossible for rival candidates to get enough support to run for president.

I was rooting for this until I learned that challenge is coming from Bernie Ecclestone’s wife. Seems a bit suspect on the face of it.

This whole thing has got the whiff of money and influence.

Laura Villars is the person suing the FIA. She is not married to Bernie. Bernie's wife is involved, but on the MBS side of the dispute.

That whiff of money and influence is pretty much everything in F1 lmao

[–] Tamps@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

Fair point. This is a feature, not a bug. :)

Idiot makes sure he is on camera every chance he gets. So cringe.

Grabbing Norris by his hair in the cooldown room was a new low.

That was the Formula One Group CEO Stefano Domenicali. Ben-Sulayem ruffled Norris hair on the podium.

It was MBS, Domenicali came in after that, hugging Norris. It was hard to see, as only a hand reached out for Norris' hair from besides the camera, but MBS was recognizable in the mirror when the camera panned away.

Erm.... guys, you should know that downvoting this post here on lemmy does not affect the FIA in anyway. People should give their dislikes and comments on instagram or youtube or something.

Just noticed it, don't kill the messenger.

Disappointing. Is there a term limit in the FIA?

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If there is one, he'll remove it.

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

That is disappointing.

Yeah...whatever.
