The team principal of the Milton Keynes team has been relieved of all accusations and now a week later the president of the FIA Mohammed Ben Sulayem is under the microscope in a passing of the baton that leaves no respite for an F1 that continues to be shrouded in controversy.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, in fact, is under investigation for alleged interference with the result of the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. A tipster reported that Ben Sulayem himself would have intervened to cancel the penalty given to Fernando Alonsofavoring his third place in the race, as supported by the report to the ethics committee drawn up by FIA Compliance Officer Paolo Basarri.
