Former FIA Acting Secretary General for Motorsport Shaila-Ann Rao filed a complaint over “numerous instances of sexist behaviour”
It is not the first time that the FIA president has been the subject of this type of accusation
New earthquake in the dome of the FIA. Mohammed ben Sulayem, a former rally driver who has chaired the FIA since December 2021, has been denounced for harassment and sexism. According to information from The Telegraph, Shaila-Ann Rao, the FIA’s acting secretary general for motorsport until last November, was in charge of presenting the charges.
The complaint issued by Rao is made up of “numerous cases of sexist behavior” that took place in the barely six months that she held the position of general secretary. In addition, she has various testimonies that saw Ben Sulayen yell at Rao in a Formula 1 paddock, referring to her in a derogatory way.

It is not the first time that the FIA president has found himself in the eye of the hurricane. Earlier this year, Mohammed ben Sulayem came under heavy pressure for a series of sexist comments that he allegedly made in the past. Among them, that “women might not be more intelligent than men.”
