Running for the Presidency would have adversely affected his preparations for the Dakar Rally, and Sainz says he does not wish to compromise on his commitment to the event and his team.

Someone needs to stand against Mo
Just from what I know as a VERY casual fan and follower is that MBS being re-elected will likely end my interest in the sport.
Again as a casual outside observer and fan, he has been seen as nothing but a detriment to F1 and its prestige.
I was so happy when rumors were circulating about Susie Wolff tossing her hat in the ring, but she’s stated she’s not going to try this time.
Not sure who else could unite people, help progress the sport, and survive politically, but I agree, MBS needs to go, he’s been a disaster.
I had my hopes up too for a bit, Susie Wolff would be great. Sadly it will be tough to usurp MBS as the way I understand it many of the voting nations have profited from his reign and care about nothing else. Same story as with FIFA.
