In this emergency JAonF1 podcast we discuss why Carlos Sainz Sr is set to take on Mohammed Ben Sulayem for the FIA presidency and what happens next.
Motorsport Network’s Global Editorial Director Rebecca Clancy, who broke the story on Autosport and Motorsport earlier today, joins James Allen in the studio to discuss the bombshell news and to report what Sainz Sr has told her about his plans.
Sainz is the father of Williams F1 driver Carlos Sainz and a well-known figure in rallying and motorsport circles.
Will that father/son relationship be an issue? Can Sainz win? When is the election and how does it work? What does it mean for F1? How much trouble is Ben Sulayem in? Who will back Sainz?
These and many more questions are answered.
