FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is under investigation for allegedly interfering with a Formula 1 race last year, multiple sources have told Sky Sports News.
As first reported by the BBC, an FIA ethics committee investigation has been looking at a claim Ben Sulayem made it clear that a penalty handed out to Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso at last year's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix should be revoked. Sky Sports News has contacted the FIA for comment.
Alonso was only handed the penalty after the race and celebrations had been completed, prompting him to call the decision a 'poor show' from the FIA. Aston Martin appealed the decision and received a right to review on the basis that there had been seven previous examples of a jack touching a car while a penalty was being served that had not been punished. The stewards subsequently reversed their decision the following morning.
