Leading official Tim Mayer is to announce that he is running for the presidency of the FIA in December's election.
I'll take anybody but MBS at this point.
Bernie?!?
Collins? I think she'd be an amazing pick!
Clearly they meant Sanders
My bad, but I'll take it.
He seems to have at least some support with the voting national automobile clubs, I assume european ones. (Which is what Sainz sr didnt manage to get)
Also interesting from the article:
Mayer is the son of former McLaren team principal Teddy Mayer, and has held leading positions in US-based Champ Car, Imsa and the American Le Mans Series, as well as stewarding across many of the FIA's championships, including Formula 1 for 15 years.
He was sacked by Ben Sulayem last year after representing the Circuit of the Americas in a "right of review" hearing into a fine levied on the track following a crowd invasion at the end of last year's US Grand Prix.
Mayer was one of a series of senior officials who have been fired by the FIA in the past 18 months
Lets hope he gets past the FIA nominations committee.
