Shame we can't sack MBS instead of filling the ranks with Yes men.

[zlm]

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA president, is an embarrassment to F1, the FIA, global motorsport, and the human race.

[Conservator.]

The FIA needs to fire just one person: Mohammed Ben Sulayem

[jjem]

Honest Ben's at it again, you will respect his

[jeffdriscoll]

MBS makes Jean Marie Ballestra look like a genius and Jean Todt look like a God and Max Mosley like his soul mate

[vpnconsult]

Why do you think Max was drunk in the media after winning his 4th title? It's to troll the president.

[zlm]

Let’s also not forget that Mohammed Ben Sulayem got the chance to drive an F1 car racing against another car and he immediately spun it out right on the start and crashed into the wall on the straight after getting only 100 m or so down the straight. Everyone in the media needs to bring this up every single time Mohammed Ben Sulayem gets mentioned until this man finally does something egregious enough to get himself fired.

better cooler than the dangerous heat from last year

[mastak]

ah yes! the lads are back. this is a winning combination and i haven't even started watching the video. Stuart Codling and Jon Noble. chapeau. When it comes to puns, let it rain—but don’t let it reign.

[Argosh]

Ben Suleyman makes me wish for Mosley back...

[MrWillywillmore]

Is it as exhausting to work with Codders as it looks?

[camf]

1:39 indicative of the chaos that the FIA President has created, he is not putting Motorsport as his core priority.

[DavidF]

Guys in the back without a care in the world for others. Love to see it.

[lewistheberzerker]

"Gravel is not very good for racing"
Lance Stroll: What??

[yt.personal.identification]

Trying to make yourself the most famous person in the world known as MBS might not be a wise move.
It's just a thought.

[BobGeogeo]

The video looks a little odd. I don't know if it's the lighting, the fully in focus bright background, digital artifacts, or something else. Or green screen?

[AlisonCreech]

Could we be witnessing the birth of the new Balestre..?

[BlakBeltSausage]

8:42 ah yes the Mon Arr Co grand prix 😂

[TUBZ]

il say it again.. Codling needs more airtime.

[philleasthouse]

Time to ditch MBS. He is more divisive than he is worth. Get someone in the real world who actually knows something about motorsport and has a vague comprehension of the adrenaline rush in it.
