Each candidate for the presidency must fill out a presidential list, in which they must elect a President of the Senate, the Vice President of Mobility and Automobile Tourism, the Vice President of Sport and seven vice presidents for the sport of various regions.

The main problem that would reduce Sulayem rivals is in the vice presidents section. The seven vice presidents must be selected from countless regions: one from North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Mena (Middle East and North Africa) and the remaining two in Europe.

However, no candidate can submit anyone according to his desire, as the FIA ​​provides a list of candidates eligible to the points of the Sport Council Motor World Cup. The governing body has recently published the 29 eligible members and all candidates for the presidency must choose from the available options.

It is there that the turning point is, as only a Lonely WMSC candidate is selected at the Vice President Spot in the South America region; Fabiana Ecclestone del Brazil. In addition, he has already stated his support for Sulayem.

Without two presidential lists that are allowed to share the same member on the lists of the others, this would cause the presidential lists of the Mohammed Ben Sulayem rivals to be incomplete. Thus, make their nominations not valid.

“I was blocked, hand in hand. We need to improve their way of dealing with people. The first day, the first time I go there, I felt staff working for the promoters, not for members. Members were not allowed to come to the office.
