Robert Reed: Vice President of FIA Sports is resigned after the “collapse of standards” and the fall with Muhammad bin Salim | F1 news

FIA’s president resigned to Sport Robert Reid, citing the “Standards collapse” in the Judgment Authority in Formula 1.

It is the latest resignation of senior FIA in the past 18 months, as it seems that Reed has fallen with President Mohammed bin Salim.

Reed was the vice president since the election of Bin Selim, who was attending his first race this week in the Grand Prix in Bahrain, at the end of 2021.

“When I assumed this role, that was to serve FIA ​​members; not to serve the authority,” Reid said in a statement. Sky Sports News.

“Over time, I witnessed a steady erosion of the principles we promised to support. Decisions are taken behind closed doors, bypassing the same structures and people in FIA to represent them.

“My resignation is not related to the characters; it is related to principles. The sport of motorsport deserves the responsible, transparent and paid leadership. I can no longer, in good faith, part of a system that does not reflect these values.”

Last year, many major personalities separated the Federal Administration Agreement, including sports director, coach F1, digital director, Chairman of Commercial Legal Affairs, Organizational Director, Director of the race, Chairman of the Women’s Coast Committee, Secretary -General for Mobility and Director of Communications.

The most prominent of which is the director of race Niels Wetech and the leadership leadership Tim Mayer is actively dismissed last November.

The former CEO reveals challenges in FIA

Natalie Robin, former FIA CEO, spoke at the F1 Board of Directors for the first time after leaving her role in May 2024.

She told BBC Sport.

“The resignation of the Vice President of Sports clearly indicates that there are continuous serious structural challenges.

“When professional operations are not adhered to and stakeholders are excluded from decision -making, it undermines a strong organization’s basis.

“I feel sad to see these developments, because it threatens both credibility and long -term effectiveness for an important institution.”

What happens in FIA?

Ben Sulaim was surrounded by the controversy over the past 12 months after accusing him of exaggerating the violations of the Foyators of interfering in the results of the Saudi Grand Prix for 2023.

The 63 -year -old was also accused of informing FIA officials of not ratifying the circle in the Grand Prix in Las Vegas 2023. Both demands were rejected.

Lewis Hamilton criticized his use of a stereotype when he conducted a comparison with the rapper in an interview, as he talked about the desire to see a less unpleasant language on the team’s radio. FIA refused to comment at that time.

In December, FIA voted with the controversial base changes that effectively limit the ways to bear its leadership.

Changes mean that the FIA ​​Ethics Committee will not only evaluate it to determine whether the in -depth investigation is necessary. The President of FIA Ben Sulayem and the Senate Chairman, Carmelo Sanz De Barros, will have the ability to take more measures on any moral complaints.

A lawsuit is also filed against the director of the F1 Academy by the director of the F1 Susie Wolf after a conflict of interests with her and her husband Toto Wolf in December 2023, which was abandoned two days later.

The Chairman of the Motorsport UK David Richards is also in a conflict with Ben Selim, who will return to his re -election and is currently without opposition.
