"In South America only one person stood for the World Motorsport Council. In Africa only two. All three are directly associated with the incumbent. The result is simple," Mayer said less than two weeks ago. "No one but the incumbent can run under the FIA system."

In response to Mayer's comments, the FIA said: "The FIA presidential election is a structured and democratic process, to ensure fairness and integrity at every stage."

I'm not surprised but still. That's not even a response, it completely ignores Mayer's statement.

Our dear leader has declared the system to be democratic; all dissenters will be punished.
