- Reid has had disagreements with Mohammed Ben Sulayem
- ‘Motorsport deserves leadership rooted in integrity’
Robert Reid has resigned from his role as deputy president for sport at the FIA and accused the governing body of a “breakdown in governance standards”. Reid has had a number of disagreements with the FIA president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, in recent months and his resignation comes after the Motorsport UK chair, David Richards, accused the FIA of a “shift in moral compass”.
Ben Sulayem, who has been involved in a number of controversies since he took to the helm of the FIA, is expected to stand for re-election when his four-year term expires in December.
