Tim Mayor says “a better way” because he announced the bid for FIA Presidency

Tim Mayor admitted that he should prove that he is the person who can bring about the changes that he insists that he would announce that he would run for the President of the Motorsport’s world glory.

When? Carlos Sainz SR revealed that he had chosen against challenging Mohammad Ben SulemIt seems that the current assignment was ready to run unopposed in the December election, as it is for a second term in the office.

However, the mayor, who served as a Formula 1 Steward for more than 15 years, Now thrown your hat in the ring as a contender for the top job And, in a special interview with Motorsport.com, the 59 -year -old American determined why he is believed to be Ben Sulem.

He said, “It wants and comes from a combination of needs,” he said why he decided to run. “I have the opportunity to consider in the last six months what will be necessary to lead the FIA ​​and what I have discovered is that the member club is better.

“Mohammad Ben Suleyam made promises three and a half years ago which were good ideas-the abolition, governance, he also promised that he would be a non-executive president. He has not distributed on those views. In fact, it is quite opposite.

“There are many reasons that I have decided that this is the right thing, I can go about them and about them. We can be, and should be better partners with international championships and drivers. I understand how to treat people with respect, especially those who have earned it by reaching the peak of their career.

“I will make small clubs champions, which is honest about the change that is necessary and what I want to bring. The leadership should not be about personality, and I have 34 years of experience. I think I think what it takes, I have the opportunity to give back the game.”

Ben Sulem’s tenure has been married with controversy, a part of high-profile FIA ​​departure in recent times and a rift with drivers after issuing new governance on swearing-in rules.

Teddy Mayor’s son, who owned McLaren in 1970, Tim Mayor claimed in November 2024 that his departure from FIA Steward’s long -standing role was due to his departure in a fine for the Grand Prix promoter of the United States after a track invasion.

The Mayor said that Ben Sulem felt that some rights of reviews presented a “personal attack on him”, And he was dismissed from his duties by the text message.

However, the mayor insisted that restoring the values ​​of the FIA, not taking revenge for his dismissal, is the primary motivator behind his presidential post.

He said, “Testing of true leadership is nourishing people, FIA is a round affair – attracting some of the best talents and then forcing them when they tell the truth, it is all very related,” he said.

“They all feel that they were facing a reality, which they did not expect, the FIA ​​had some serious people who have seen inside and said, ‘Not for me’. The members of the World Motisport Council are being told that they cannot talk to members and clubs about the latest meetings. The first step of making good decisions is the first step to make a good decision, I will change the debate very quickly.

Ben Sulem collided with drivers in several series, when the swearing in in the fi-approved motorcysts should be banned and there too, there is a relationship mayor who is eager to reconstruct the mayor, he should be given the key to the palace later this year.

“You must understand that the drivers are core, they are stars of our game. You need to partner with them, nurture relationships when we see the game. It is not only about drivers, but all the stakeholders, they all deserve respect,” they said.

“There is no one child, these people are at the peak of their career and need to be treated with respect and respect.

“Many people miss that personal law changes; they can be seen about integrity or modernization, but take them all together and you can clearly see that it is about putting maximum power in a man’s office.”

The Mayor insisted that he was eager to pursue the FIA ​​about his commitment to mobility, while he is unaffected by a recent show of support for Ben Sulem as a letter signed by 36 Automobile Clubs.

The mayor said, “As they are for the benefit of the rules written, but my job and responsibility is door -to -door, for those who have a vote and explain that there is a better way, they don’t have another option in three and a half years,” the mayor said.

“When a letter is overshadowed under your nose and you are told ‘signing it, or anyone is going to sign it. But there is only one vote in December, that process will still have complete democracy. I need to earn their trust, earn their votes and display myself and my team is very strong to bring change.”
