FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is reportedly looking to completely eliminate the age limits for office holders within motorsport’s governing body. This controversial move comes merely six months after he successfully scrapped the previous four-year term limits for leadership positions across the organization.
Based on recent reports, Mohammed Ben Sulayem is now actively pushing to dismantle the rule that prevents anyone over the age of 75 from standing as part of a presidential team. The proposal has been formally put forward for approval at the upcoming FIA General Assembly scheduled for next month.
According to the official arguments submitted for the proposal, age limits could severely restrict the pool of qualified candidates eligible for election by the competent bodies. The institution emphasized that individuals possessing exceptional experience and profound expertise could bring immense value and benefit to the strategic goals of the FIA.
Should the proposal pass successfully, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who is currently 65 years old, would theoretically be in a position to remain as FIA president indefinitely. The organization previously raised the age limit to 75 after having it capped at 70 during the early stages of his initial presidential term.
Addressing the shifting stance on age restrictions, an official spokesperson defended the move by stating that it brings the organization in line with major global institutions whose leaders are well into their seventies. Ultimately, the authority to elect appropriate officeholders remains firmly in the hands of the competent FIA bodies through a formal voting process.
