Mohammed Ben Sulayem has addressed the possibility of an FOM vs FIA court battle in the event of an Andretti entry being turned down.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is not anticipating a court battle between the sport’s governing body and Formula One Management over Andretti’s proposed entry into F1.
Ben Sulayem has said all along that money is the reason for the opposition to Andretti from within the sport, but even if the bid falls at the final hurdle, the FIA president said he will “not allow” Formula 1 and its governing body to get into a legal battle. “This marriage ? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I think the Pope of the Vatican can get married 100 times and get divorced. But we will not be divorced.
The FIA president has been keen to talk up the benefits of Andretti’s entry, pointing to the financial side of things alongside the sport’s appeal in America.“First of all, Liberty is an American company and I read that Liberty were approving, and they were saying we would like to have another team.
