As exclusively reported by Motorsport.com, Carlos Sainz Sr is seriously considering whether to launch a bid to challenge incumbent FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem's campaign for a second term during this year's elections at the governing body.
A two-time World Rally champion, Sainz might be viewed by contemporary Formula 1 fans as the ex-rally driver father of Williams’ Carlos Sainz. Yet, the senior Sainz remains active on the rally-raid scene through his efforts at the Dakar Rally – in 2025, he races with Ford following a three-year association with Audi that yielded victory in the 2024 event.
