They investigate the president of the FIA ​​for withdrawing a sanction from Alonso and returning him to third place in Saudi Arabia in 2023. The FIA's compliance officer, Paolo Basarri, sent a report to the Ethics Committee in which he stated that Ben Sulayem acted to annul a penalty imposed on the Asturian driver in the Saudi event.

There was no suggestion at the time that there was anything inappropriate about the decision, after Aston Martin sporting director Andy Stevenson raised allegations in the case with stewards.
