Lewis Hamilton publicly criticized Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the FIA, in response to Susie Wolff’s legal complaint against the organization. Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction with Ben Sulayem’s leadership and the alleged male dominance in the sport. The FIA conducted an investigation into the alleged conflict of interest involving Wolff and her partner, but ultimately closed the case. However, Wolff decided to revive the issue by filing a criminal complaint in a French court. The details of the case have not been fully disclosed. Despite the accusations against him, Ben Sulayem was cleared of any wrongdoing by the FIA Ethics Committee and will continue in his position. The 2024 season is underway, with Red Bull’s strong performance challenging Milton Keynes’ dominance. Hamilton will need to continue speaking out against Ben Sulayem to ensure his concerns are heard.
