Stefano Domenicali to continue as CEO of F1 through 2029

He's doing a decent job I think, and who else would you put there?

Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of Formula 1, has been involved in a few controversies during his tenure:

1. Expanding the F1 Calendar: Domenicali faced criticism for increasing the number of races in the F1 calendar to a record-breaking 24 events. Some drivers, including Max Verstappen, expressed concerns about the added stress on teams and mechanics. Domenicali dismissed these concerns, stating that participation in F1 is not compulsory.
2. Sportswashing Allegations: Domenicali has been accused of enabling "sportswashing" by hosting races in countries with questionable human rights records, such as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Critics, including UK politician Lord Scriven, have claimed that F1's actions under Domenicali's leadership damage the sport's reputation.
3. Eliminating Free Practice Sessions: Domenicali proposed removing free practice sessions from race weekends, which sparked mixed reactions among drivers. While some supported the idea, others, like Verstappen, opposed it, arguing that it could alter the DNA of Formula 1.
