Mohammed Ben Sulayem talks candidly about his controversies, the need for transparency, and Liberty
In February, the FIA launched an application process that F1 and the existing teams didn’t support. They insist that only a team that would add ‘“significant value” to F1 should be admitted, even with the $200 million anti-dilution fee that must now be paid into the shared pot.But Ben Sulayem argues that as the Concorde Agreement that binds F1 commercially permits 12 teams, newcomers can’t be totally shut out.
“Honestly, I’m not here to upset Liberty Media, but if people think that’s upsetting them, I can pick up on people saying things about the FIA that also upsets us. The timeline for a decision on this is drifting backwards. It’s a fascinating situation, because both the FIA and F1 would have to sign off on a new team. Ben Sulayem’s current choice is to either accept the application of one or more aspirants, thereby putting the ball in F1’s court, or back down.AdvertisementThe FIA oversaw the creation of the 2026 power unit rules, with a switch to a 50:50 split of ICE and electric power.
There’s an obvious desire for greater financial resources for which the FIA is pushing in order to provide the improved service that F1 wants. Suffice to say, extra funding is something that F1 is neither keen on nor believes there is scope for.
