Ethics committee clears FIA President of wrongdoing in pair of whistleblower complaints
Associated PressThe ethics committee for Formula 1’s governing body has cleared Mohammed Ben Sulayem in a pair of whistleblower complaints that alleged the FIA president twice interfered in competition last year. “After reviewing the results of the inquiries, the Ethics Committee were unanimous in their determination that there was no evidence to substantiate allegations of interference of any kind involving the FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem,” the committee said in its Wednesday ruling. “Allegations against the FIA President were unsubstantiated and strong evidence beyond any reasonable doubt was presented to support the determination of the FIA Ethics Committee,” the statement said. “The President’s complete co-operation, transparency, and compliance throughout the process during this investigation was greatly appreciated.” The ethics committee has also received a complaint from a Red Bull employee who has accused team principal Christian Horner of misconduct.
