Robert Reid resigns as FIA Deputy President for sport

Robert Reid resigns as FIA Deputy President for sport

The Hindu
Thursday, April 10, 2025 1:39 PM GMT

Turmoil at FIA as deputy president resigns over governance issues, sparking discontent among officials and drivers.

Turmoil at the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body for auto racing series like Formula 1, has deepened after its deputy president for sport resigned in protest at how it is run.

Robert Reid was a running mate when FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem was elected in 2021. His resignation is the latest sign of discontent with the direction taken by the FIA under Ben Sulayem, whose tenure has seen a rift with F1 drivers and numerous senior officials leave or be replaced.

“I took on this role to help deliver greater transparency, stronger governance, and more collaborative leadership,” Reid posted on social media on Thursday (April 10, 2025).

“Over time, those principles have been increasingly set aside, and I can no longer, in good faith, remain part of a system that no longer reflects them.”

The FIA has clashed with F1 drivers over Ben Sulayem's plans to crack down on swearing. New rules introduced for 2025 make it possible for the FIA to suspend drivers who repeatedly swear or make political statements.

F1 champion Max Verstappen kept his answers to a minimum at an FIA news conference last year after he was punished for swearing. Drivers in the world rally championship last month boycotted interviews to protest a fine issued to a driver who used an expletive in an interview.

Mr. Reid, a former world champion rally co-driver, isn't the only voice at the FIA to express concern at how it is run.
