The president of the FIA, I can't irrigatehe threatened a few weeks ago to implement a veto to potential candidates in his position and is already a fact that his General Assembly has approved that measure that can be called anti Carlos Sainz. A clear step of the Emiratí to be re -elected in the elections of December 12 in Taskcapital of Uzbekistan, And a swipe to the nascent candidacy of the legendary Spanish pilot, who will have to accelerate, but this time politically, to present his support as soon as possible that his proposal is validated in record time.

This change of statutes and the Ethical Code of the FIA ​​was highly criticized at the time by different personalities of motor sport, but last Thursday the assembly gathered in Macao (Hong Kong) He voted in favor of it and was approved. This remodeling will advance the deadlines for the application of potential candidates, which will squeeze Sainz to achieve even more support in the coming weeks and propose a solid base.

Carlos himself was asked three weeks ago if he was aware that Ben Sulayem was cooking this measure to veto candidates. This was his answer: «When there is that change of statutes and when the FIA ​​Assembly will be produced on June 13, I will pronounce. They are rumors, it would not be fair to say something that may not happen.

The date came, the norm was approved and Sainz today has not yet commented on anything about it. What is clear is that the current president, whose four -year mandate ends at the end of 2025, at the expense of being re -elected, has implanted mechanisms that correspond more with nuances of a dictatorial regime.

The FIA ​​avoids Sainz

It must be remembered that Sulayem and Sainz have not been found publicly since The killer He announced in mid -May his intention to present the president of the FIA ​​to the elections after having received the impulse of different agencies. The Emiratí refused to go to Grand Prix of Spain of Formula 1 In the circuit of Montmelonan appointment that was in his three previous years of mandate, in order not to coincide with Carlos.

It rains on wet in the Sulayem policy, which has demonstrated again with the approval of this change of statutes by its assembly its great influence on the Senate of the FIA, among which is Carmelo Sanzpresident of Real Automobile Club of Spain. A few months ago the top leader of Motorsport United Kingdom, Dave Richardspresented his resignation to the agency after he was forbidden to attend a meeting of the World Motor Sports Council When refusing to sign a reinforced confidentiality agreement.

Richards sent a very hard letter of renunciation of Sulayem in which he questioned his political methods and pointed out a “collapse of governance standards.” United Kingdom, cradle of F1, could be behind Sainz's support block and, without a doubt, that a country like the British goes with the four -time champion of the champion of the Rally Dakar It is significant to mold a candidacy that can stand up to that of the Emiratí.

Will there be elections in December?

A scenario that cannot be ruled out after the approval of the Anti Sainz Law of the FIA ​​is that there are no elections directly. If Ben Sulayem manages to exhaust the deadline without approved by any proposal that convinces the chairman itself, on December 12 there would be no elections in Taskent and would be re -elected by abandonment.
