Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s ruling over Formulaꦦ 1🌜 has been criticised with the crucial flaw identified.

Ben Sulayemꩵ replaced Jean To🅷dt as FIA president three years ago but has often been at the centre of controversy.

Guenthe💫r Steiner, the former Haas team principal, has offered insight into Ben Sulayem’s personality but also hi🍬s weaknesses.

Steiner told the Sky F1 podcast about Ben Sulayem’s predecessor:♕ “I had a good relationship with Jean, and a lot of respect for the guy, and what he achieved in his life.

“He won a lot of championships then w🍰as a good FIA president - that’s not easy to do.”

Steiner added: “I’ve known Mohammed a long time. He comes f❀rom rallying, and I come from rallying. I spent a lot of time together with him.

“As a person, I’ve always liked Mohammed𝐆. He is a good character.

“As a 🌼president? Sometiꦯmes he gets involved too much in the sport.

“He doesn’t do himself any favours with that.

“You have to have people who run the organisation because it’s a big job being the president of a federation like the FIA. If you ge🦂t involved in the day-to-day running, I don’t think there’🔥s the time to do it at the level it needs to be done at.

“He should have good people around him. He gets i꧃nvolved, and sometimes he is critiqued.

“In💛 this position, you need to get used to being critiqued. It can🐟’t always be about how good you are.

“If you get praise, you always get criticism. ဣWhen you are a public figure, this is part of it.

“You cannꦕot be everyone’s friend. It’s not going to happen.”

Last year, Ben Sulayem’s decision to punish F1 drivers who 🃏wore jewellery created a f꧟urore.

It irked Lewis Hamilton, in particular.

This season Ben Sulayem has ꦐpunished Max Verstappen for swearing in a press conference.

It prompted Verstappen to refuse his community service order, and for Hamilton𒉰 and Lando Norris to stick up for him.

Steiner commented on the swear ban: “Why put this now on the table? We are discussing something which isn’t wortꦕh discussꦜing.

“Max made a comment about his car. Is it righ🐎t? No. Is it wrong? No.

“The more you bring it up, the more contꦛroversy it creates.

🔯“If you don’t want it to happen? When there is a drivers’ meeting say ‘guys, help me o✤ut, can we tone down the swearing please’.

“It’s difficult for a driꦬver sitting in a car going 360km/h and another guy cuts you off. You say ‘f***** idiot’ but𝔍 you don’t mean it.

“The TV beeps it out anyway!

“We are emotional people.

“It defines a sport. We need emotions in the sport. Otherwi😼se, why would it be i♋nteresting?

“Too much ꧃was made of it. Somebody u൲sed the F-word? Okay, don’t use it again, and move on…”
