Another female candidate enters FIA presidential raceVirginie Philippot has announced her candidacy for the FIA presidency, becoming the second woman to challenge Mohammed Ben Sulayem in December's election. She joins Laura Villars and American former steward Tim Mayer on the ballot alongside incumbent Ben Sulayem, with the decisive vote set for December in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Her platform centres on inclusivity, transparency and female participation, drawing on her work as founder of the NGO Drive For Hope, which supports education and orphans in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Let's build an FIA that's truly inclusive for every voice, every story, every passion, she said. Despite her limited FIA experience, Philippot hopes her outsider status and advocacy credentials can sway delegates away from the incumbent.
