Sainz Jr. sees no problem with his father running for FIA president
Mohammed Ben Sulayem's tenure as FIA president has been marred by numerous controversies, but now a challenger has emerged in the form of Carlos Sainz Sr., who has stated he would not mind competing for the position. Some have raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest, since his son races in Formula 1. However, Sainz Jr. does not see an issue.
Details: The Williams driver commented that his father would make a strong candidate and that he sees no conflict of interest in any scenario.
Quote: "Obviously, I'm very busy here with Williams, focusing on my own business. So in a way, I leave that up to him. He updates me on the situation every week or two, letting me know how much progress he's made or what the situation is. I think the negative side is the politics.
But I believe if there's anyone who can cut through the politics, it's my father, because he relies on common sense and basic principles in life and everything else. I've tried to come up with scenarios where this could be a conflict of interest, but honestly, I can't see a single case where it would be an issue," Sainz Jr. said.
