They have a pound land version of a Bond villain in charge.
Sorry, that’s not nice and might cause some offense. Pound land is just fine.

If my former deputy got sacked with no apparent reason, i would sidestep as well. To hell with the autocrats... Let's see whether Marques has a spine or not

"The FIA, or Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, is the regulatory body for F1. The FIA is a non-profit organization that has been pushing for a larger share of the sport's income."
In their dreams!

It's like Joe has said... At some point F1 will get tired of this, will threaten to leave, and then will leave.

How long is his tenure? Is it a limited term job where he has to stand for election? Or can he stay as long as he wants? Can he be ousted?

f1wdc2021.bsky.social•96 days ago

The tenure is 4 years. A president cannot serve more than 3 tenures.
There is a concept of the president being 'permanently prevented from continuing in his duties' but I can't see any mention of what that could entail. It opens the possibility for a vote of no confidence by the General Assembly

Thank you.

What the actual F is going on at the FIA... apart from anything else, the optics of this are beyond terrible

kevinpowell.co•96 days ago

It's becoming parody at this point 🙃

markjones27.bsky.social•96 days ago

Maybe everyone's burning out?

mr61eed.bsky.social•96 days ago

Lack of integrity and care for the sport…

freemanlowell01.bsky.social•96 days ago

What if Rui Marques gets ill. Can you step in?

spannersready.bsky.social•96 days ago

I'm available.. in exchange for money

The sport has been getting ruined since he was appointed

pecotrain.teamlh.social•96 days ago

Whole thing needs gutted, starting from the VERY TOP!!

Stewards inconsistency

What a complete and utter clownshow the FIA has become.

I mean - how hard can it be, write rules, enforce them - be reasonable.. it’s not like they have to to cure cancer etc..

A governance model in need of structural reform but is answerable to no-one.

maddim.bsky.social•96 days ago

I can be available

kolbenkopp.bsky.social•96 days ago

Bet it's all down to Liberty. The only thing that was missing for some real classic F1 drama is a proper villain. Difficult to find someone of JMB's calibre nowadays though...

dinneratjoes.bsky.social•96 days ago

MBSomeone's got the world's thinnest skin at the FIA.

margaretandrews.bsky.social•96 days ago

When a flagrantly egomaniacal “president” gets all up in his feelings (you know, like a WOMAN) and removes well-qualified people who are doing their job in the interest of the sport as a whole (rather than of blind loyalty)… it reminds me of someone else; I just can’t think of his name right now.

Who do they need to get big points in the f2 championship and is they just the highest bidder.

jackief1nut.teamlh.social•95 days ago

Why on earth has a supposedly professional governing body have no governance to prevent a narcissistic bombastic leader to treat the organisation as a personal fiefdom? Absolute trash

richardcrossan.bsky.social•96 days ago

Not enough people recognising the many successes of FIA President, 14 times Middle East Rally Champion and UAE Sportsman of the Century Mohammed Ben Sulayem. His efforts in integrating sustainability initiatives into global motorsport have recently been recognised by the UN, you know.

thunderpob.bsky.social•96 days ago

All for nought when things like this happen. Most will never remember the good amongst this much chaos

The FIA is such a dumpster fire. Makes me wonder what it would take for F1 to self regulate

williamssupport.bsky.social•96 days ago

Makes me wonder at what point do we not have experienced enough stewards to run events. Seems like we are quickly moving in this direction.

toddinphx.bsky.social•96 days ago

Mark Webber’s unreasonable demands as a driver agent are obviously killing all of motorsport.
