F1's owners Liberty Media want Ben Sulayem removed from his positꦚion as head of the governing body amid an escalating civil war between the two parties, according to a report by . 

Former BAR and Benetton team principal and Motorsport UK chairman David Richards has been suggested as a replacement. The 70-year-old Briton is supposedly “not averse” 𒀰to the idea. 

However, in order fo🍨r Ben Sulayem to be overthrown, “real misconduct” must be proved, as per Sport1. 

Be🅘n Sulayem has found himself at the centre of several controversies since taking over fromꦺ Jean Todt in December 2021. 

The FIA was forced to defend Ben Sulayem on Friday after sexist remarks attributed to the president were publishedꦫ by The Times. 

Ben Sulayem is quoted on an archived version of his old website saying he does “not like women who think they are smarter than m𝔉eꦗn.” 

An FIA spokespers🧜on responded: "The remarks in this archived website from 2001 do not reflect the president's beliefs.

“He has a strong record on promoting women and equality in sport, which he is happy to be judged on. It was a centr𝓀al part of his manifesto and actions taken this year and the many years he served as vice-president for sport prove this.”

F1 also accused Ben Sulayem of making 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“unacceptable” comments about the value of the sport i🍌n an ไexplosive letter to the FIA.
