Former Mercedes executive Shaila-Ann Rao has left the FIA following the conclusion of the 2022 F1 season. Her appointment as interim secretary general for motorsport had caused concern among some teams.

In a statement issued by the FIA on Wednesday, it was confirmed that Rao had left her position after working with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem through his first year in the role. “Shaila-Ann successfully managed this transition period, providing valuable support and assistance to the FIA President and the organisation during this period which is now coming to an end.
Ben Sulayem thanked Rao in the statement for her “invaluable contribution” during her time with the FIA, saying she gave him “great support in respect to Formula 1, always acting with professionalism and integrity.”within the FIA.
