George Russell, director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, was asked about the potential competition for Ben Sulayem. Russell expressed his views: “I think in life, competition is always good because it brings out the best in people. It's something we've been vocal about in the past. It's probably got a little bit too much airtime in the past.” — Russell noted that the sport has been moving in a positive direction, which he believes benefits everyone involved. He elaborated: “Things have seemingly been moving in a better direction, which I think is just good news for everyone involved in the sport. But at the end of the day, if there are two people fighting for one position, you bring your A-game. It's a bit like a driver's contract, I guess!” — Currently, aside from Mayer and Ben Sulayem, no other candidates have declared their intention to run for the presidency. Potential challengers have until 24th October to register. #georgerussell 🇬🇧 #fia 🇫🇷 VIA: [gpblog]  XXX engagements  **Related Topics** [drivers](/topic/drivers) [prix](/topic/prix) [silverstone](/topic/silverstone) [george russell](/topic/george-russell) [formula 1](/topic/formula-1) [Post Link](https://x.com/ThisIsFormu1a1/status/1946795528047730959)
