MODERATORS
Only a few short paragraphs in and I chuckled after reading this quote from him. "I see he had his share [of mistreatment], but let's talk about me. If you look at the British media and what they did to meโฆ For God's sake, they convicted me."
meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
I've not really thought about it before, but he really is trying to make himself the centre of attention. He's always making statements, handing out medals, being seen on the grid with the drivers. I couldn't even name another FIA president except Max Mosley, and his complaint with the British press was that they talked about him too much!
On today's episode of things clowns say, MBS.
Note. Mohammed Ben Sulayem is not the same person as crownprince of SA Mohammed bin Salman who is often referred to as MBS. Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has allegedly ordered the assassination of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Sulayem used to be referred to as "Ben" in the racing community but ever since his controversies started in the media, people have started calling him "MBS" lol
Or as I've seen recently in comments, Bohammed Sen Mulayem
I've referred to him as MBS since he took over the FiA. It isn't meant to spark controversy, they are literally his initials.
Idk if the replies about the MBS in Saudi Arabia are meant to be snarky, bring awareness, or if people are incapable of managing context clues for abbreviations.
I'm smoking weed about it.
Ah yes. That classic bogeyman of F1. Any time someone gets criticised for anything, just blame the British press. Be it when Alonso does a move the stewards doesn't like, Max getting booed at Brazil in '21, etc...
As if most of the complaining about this clown doesn't come from people directly in F1. E.g. Max, Lewis, and others calling his swearing ban nonsense.
If anything the press, British or not, has been frustratingly quiet on this. But I guess that's because they're naturally on the side of advertisers, who also want no swearing or personality in sport.
