In early March, chairman David Richards wrote a letter to the members of Motorsport UK, addressing the FIA while taking aim at the organization's president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and his approach to governing F1 and the whole of its motorsport operations. Just a month later, the FIA finally posted a response to Richards' letter with direction for the chairman to share it on Motorsport UK's site and magazine. And Richards, in his own reaction posted Wednesday, was not enthusiastic about what the organization had to say.
Said Richards, "What is disappointing in this letter from Alberto is the disregard for the very real concerns that have been expressed, not just by myself, but a growing number of people, that the governance and constitutional organisation of the FIA is becoming ever more opaque and concentrating power in the hands of the President alone."
