FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s son, Saif, has passed away after a traffic accident. Saif Ben Sulayem had followed his father’s footsteps into the sport after beginning his career as a racing driver. However, Saif decided against following up on a motor racing career internationally and remained in the Middle East. He remained interested in the sport however and on his Instagram account he regularly shared several snaps of different supercars. Mohammed Ben Sulayem – a former rally champion – was elected as FIA president in December 2021. However, he announced last month that he would step back from direct involvement in the sport, although he was present at the Bahrain GP last weekend.
