Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s son Saif Muhammad Bin Salim has died in Dubai as per reports
Saif Muhammad Bin Salim, the son of FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has died after a horrific car crash in Dubai. The incident took place on Tuesday (March 7) and the mourning schedule has already been finalised as per Islamic traditions according to reports. Sources have confirmed that Bin Salim’s body will be buried in Al Qusais cemetery in Dubai, while the condolences will be held in the mourning tent in Al Mamzar.
Young Bin Salim was very fond of racing and cars which is evident from his Instagram profile. He was very closely associated with motorsport and drove an ATCUAE-backed Tatuus F4 scoring 27 points and finishing 14th in UAE’s Formula 4 series. He stopped racing at the end of the 2016-2017 UAE racing season. Three years later in 2020, his father Ben Sulayem, was elected as the President of FIA and Saif continued to be associated with motorsport in a non-racing role.
Saif’s demise at such a young age is certainly heart-breaking for his family and friends. Condolences are pouring in from across the globe but we are still awaiting an official statement from the FIA.
