It was MBS, Domenicali came in after that, hugging Norris. It was hard to see, as only a hand reached out for Norris' hair from besides the camera, but MBS was recognizable in the mirror when the camera panned away.
They were both beyond cringe, IMHO.
In this case, MBS came in from behind with Norris completely unaware, which startled him. The look on Max' face tells a lot about the level of awkwardness!
Besides that, MBS is probably simply more disliked as he has done some pretty bad things in his presidency.
This wasn't about Arab vs European.
Erm.... guys, you should know that downvoting this post here on lemmy does not affect the FIA in anyway. People should give their dislikes and comments on instagram or youtube or something.
There’s a legal challenge coming in Feb due to that fact that it is virtually impossible for rival candidates to get enough support to run for president.
I was rooting for this until I learned that challenge is coming from Bernie Ecclestone’s wife. Seems a bit suspect on the face of it.
This whole thing has got the whiff of money and influence.

Idiot makes sure he is on camera every chance he gets. So cringe.
Grabbing Norris by his hair in the cooldown room was a new low.

That was the Formula One Group CEO Stefano Domenicali. Ben-Sulayem ruffled Norris hair on the podium.

And yet no one is complaining about the European doing anything, just the Arab. 🤔🤔🤔

If I hadn't been seeing threads and comments all year complaining about MBS. For the simple reason as having to look at him.
I'd maybe believe you.
But it becomes hard to try and remove the racism when the complaint boils down to "having to look at the Arab"

That whiff of money and influence is pretty much everything in F1 lmao

Fair point. This is a feature, not a bug. :)

Laura Villars is the person suing the FIA. She is not married to Bernie. Bernie's wife is involved, but on the MBS side of the dispute.

That is disappointing.

Disappointing. Is there a term limit in the FIA?

If there is one, he'll remove it.
