Mohammed Ben Sulayem was taken ill and suffered a concussion earlier this week, an FIA spokesperson has confirmed. This will impact the president’s involvement in Friday evening’s FIA Prize Gala.
In a statement released by an FIA spokesperson on Friday, it was revealed: “Several days ago the president took ill and suffered a fall and concussion. He received care in hospital and will make a full recovery.”
This will have an impact on the proceedings of the Prize Gala and while Ben Sulayem will still attend, he “will do a lot less than initially planned” during the evening’s celebrations.
Ben Sulayem has been at the centre of a media storm over the past few days after the FIA launched an investigation into Susie and Toto Wolff following a report published in Business F1 magazine.
