Suleiman: If Max leaves, we will miss him.

      Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated in Miami that Formula 1 will miss Max Verstappen if he decides to leave the sport, but the FIA president is convinced that the four-time champion will not go anywhere...

      Mohammed Ben Sulayem: "Formula 1 is more important than anything. FIA presidents come and go, teams come and go, promoters come and go, drivers come and go, but Formula 1 remains.

      I just spoke with Max. It's no surprise that when you win and then suddenly stop winning, you express your opinion, and I can understand that.

      It's a vicious circle. He has won the title four times, and what did other people say when he was winning? Now Toto Wolff tells me, 'Everyone is against me,' and I respond, 'Yes, just like everyone was against Christian Horner at one time.' It's a natural cycle.

      People sometimes say one thing but mean something completely different. If Max leaves, we will miss him, but the sport will remain. So many stars and teams have come and gone, but Formula 1 will always be there, and the FIA will always be there.

      After what happened last year when he lost the title, after the situation became clear this year, he needed to speak out. But what he says, is it really what he wants? I don't think so."
