Sainz Sr. considering standing for FIA president

Carlos Sainz Sr., aged 63, a two-time world rally champion and winner of the Dakar Rally on four occasions who remains active in competition, is contemplating a bid for the FIA presidency this year.
He has been thinking about the possibility for some time and is now assessing how much support he can gather ahead of the December election in Uzbekistan.
Incumbent president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, a controversial figure with considerable regional backing, has confirmed his intention to run for re-election in the upcoming presidential vote.
Sainz said, "This possibility has been in my mind for some time," and he will step down from his role with his son Carlos Jr. To avoid conflicts as his son races in F1.
If elected, Sainz plans to introduce fresh ideas and give back to motorsport, while stepping away from his involvement in his son's career to maintain professional boundaries and avoid any potential conflicts.
