You’d be hard to find someone worthwhile that hasn’t got some sort of connection to at least one of all the motorsports governed by the FIA. I’d think this is the safest bet considering F1’s dependency on marketability and sales. They’re getting real close to pushing the scandals too far. If it weren’t for DTS, they’d have continued declining. Motorsport fans, the teams, and industry are getting real sick of their shit.
Plus we all know Toto is her sub—yes, mental image that one and tell me it’s not true. He’d be getting no rewards.
Innovations such as DAS, Flexi-wings, fuel-rates, mass, etc can be decided in a way as to advantage a particular design philosophy.
The FIA could direct Pirelli to spec tyres that most suit the Mercedes. Back in the day Schumacher benefited greatly from his tyres being specifically designed around his Ferrari, with other teams with the brand having to make do.
Financially, measures such as the capital expenditure cost cap waiver could be wielded to harm the competition.
I’m all for her, but conflict of interest with her husband being the TP of the Mercedes F1 team will make this impossible, no?
Conflicts of interest and professional sport pretty much go hand in hand anyway

Exactly, a Wuzie Solff with all her competence but not married to Toto would be an amazing candidate. As it stands I can’t see it happening.
Didn’t Jean Todt go straight from Ferrari to FIA president?
The FIA president should in theory not have a lot to deal with F1, it’s Sulayem who is overstepping his line constantly
I’m not sure if this is a valid argument, but maybe someone can explain what kind of decisions of FIA would benefit Mercedes AMG F1 (only)?
