Susie Wolff? 

 

That would not stoke conspiracy theories anywhere.

I'd rather have an incestuous conspiracy, than this MBS/FIA soap opera.  I miss Max, and I'd even settle for Balestre.

I can not think of anyone I want less than Ben Sulayem as the President, though I most likely will have some level of dislike for most running, and most likely do not know who the actual candidates will be, I will not like Robert Reid, he is through his association already beyond tainted,

Not sure what anyone was expecting when they installed someone from a theocratic dictatorship as President.

I think the point really is that you're not one of the voters.

Robert Reid has more to say.
 

It is interesting, but not wholly surprising, that many of those messages of support came with the caveat of not being willing to say anything publicly for fear of retaliation, which highlights some of the issues we face,” he wrote.

“I would never ask anyone to put themselves in what they feel is an uncomfortable position, be it through a letter of support or a social post showing clear endorsement, as I don’t feel that it would be fair to do so. From other quarters the silence has been deafening.

 

One of the clearest and most troubling examples of this breakdown involved the internalisation of the World Rallycross Championship,” wrote Reid. “I repeatedly raised concerns, both about the governance process and potential legal implications, and received no response, despite my elected responsibilities and fiduciary obligations.
“Eventually, I had no choice but to seek external legal advice and support. Only then did I receive a response, but unfortunately it lacked the clarity and rigour I had hoped for. I was told, in broad terms, that the governance process was sound and there was no legal risk.
“But no evidence or explanation was offered to support those assurances. As someone accountable to the membership and exposed to personal liability, that was simply not acceptable.”

 

​I did not refuse to sign the NDA amendment. I simply requested a short extension in order to seek legal advice on a complex document governed by Swiss law, which was presented with a relatively short deadline. That request was denied.
“As a result, I was excluded from the World Motor Sport Council meeting, in my view, both unfairly and unlawfully. Ten days later, my FIA email was disabled without notice. Multiple requests for assistance and explanation went unanswered until, following a legal letter from my counsel, I was informed this had been a deliberate decision.
