The 62-year-old was appointed to run Formula One’s governing body in December last-year but announced he was taking a step-back from day-to-day control in February.

However, the Dubai-born boss has recently been involved in the inquiry into Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and his wife Susie over an alleged conflict of interest.

Susie Wolff is head of F1 Academy, the all-female series run and owned by the sport’s owners, Liberty Media, while Toto is in charge of the Mercedes team.

Toto was cleared on Thursday to carry on as Mercedes team principal after the FIA abandoned their inquiry into the pair.

Announcing their decision, they said: ‘Following a review of Formula One Management’s code of conduct and conflict of interest policy, and confirmation that appropriate protective measures are in place to mitigate any potential conflicts, the FIA is satisfied that FOM’s compliance management system is robust enough to prevent any unauthorised disclosure of confidential information. 

‘The FIA can confirm that there is no ongoing investigation in terms of ethical or disciplinary inquiries involving any individual.

‘As the regulator, the FIA has a duty to maintain the integrity of global motorsport. The FIA reaffirms its commitment to integrity and fairness.’
