"FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem Under Investigation for Alleged Race Interference"

The president of FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, allegedly instructed officials not to certify the Las Vegas circuit for its race last year, according to a whistleblower's claim in a report by the FIA's compliance officer. This is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding Ben Sulayem, who has been involved in other disputes, including one with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. The FIA spokesperson has stated that the Las Vegas circuit approval followed FIA protocol, and the race was a poster event for F1, with commercial rights holders investing heavily in the event.
