Departure of senior man marks latest clash with governing body's chief Ben Sulayem
-
MANAMA - Mercedes driver George Russell voiced concern about instability at Formula One's governing body after Robert Reid quit as the International Automobile Federation (FIA) deputy president for sport on April 10 in a row over governance.
Reid, a Scot and world championship-winning former rally co-driver, had been a prominent member of FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem's team before he and Motorsport UK boss David Richards clashed with the Emirati over statute changes.
Ben Sulayem is expected to seek re-election for a further four years in December and currently has no declared opponent, although there has been speculation about one emerging.
Richards, a powerful figure in motor racing as a former F1 and rally team boss as well as ex-chairman of Aston Martin and 1981 world rally champion co-driver, is 72 and ineligible due to his age.
Russell, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, said he was sad to see the departure of Reid, 59, who had written to explain his actions.
