Formula 1: Natalie Robyn leaves role as FIA chief executive officer after just 18 months
Ben Sulayem has been embroiled in a series of other controversies since he was elected in December 2021.
Robyn did not respond to requests for comment from BBC Sport.
The FIA quoted her in a statement saying: “Performing in the role of CEO at the FIA has been an enormous privilege and I am grateful to have directed a programme of restructuring and reform.
“Now is the time to step away in the knowledge that the organisation is better placed for the challenges which lie ahead.”
The FIA statement said Robyn had “spearheaded a comprehensive overhaul of the federation’s operational structure, playing a pivotal role in modernising the FIA, enhancing governance, and securing sustainable financial stability”.
Robyn, a former car industry executive for Volvo, Nissan and DaimlerChrysler, started work for the FIA in late 2022, and her recruitment was described at the time by Ben Sulayem as “a transformative moment for our federation”.
Ben Sulayem said in a statement about her departure: “Natalie’s appointment was notable as the first CEO in the history of the FIA. She has contributed greatly to a wide-ranging reorganisation of our operational and management structure as well as our financial sustainability.”
Nelly Korda secured her sixth victory in seven tournaments by winning the Mizuho Americas Open on Sunday.
The 25-year-old’s level-par 71 saw her win on 14 under, one shot clear of Australian Hannah Green at the Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City.
Korda started the final day with a two-shot lead but had three bogeys and one birdie on the front nine to be level with Green at the halfway point.
After matching each other down the stretch it was the Australian who blinked first, missing a par putt on the 18th that would have forced a play-off.
The victory means American Korda bounced back at the first opportunity after her winning streak of five came to an end at last week’s Cognizant Founders Cup.
The world number one’s run had included last month’s Chevron Championship, the first major of the season.
It was Korda’s 14th LPGA Tour victory as she became the first American to win six or more times in a season since Beth Daniel won seven times in 1990. American legend Mickey Wright holds the record with 13 victories in 1963.
Korda will next turn her attention to the US Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club, which begins on 30 May.
Great Britain’s Olympic BMX champion Bethany Shriever has fractured her collarbone two months before defending her title at the Paris 2024 Games.
The 25-year-old sustained the injury at the BMX Racing World Championships in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
She crashed out on the final straight in her semi-final on Saturday.
“Not how I wanted my World Champs to end, but it’s BMX,” Shriever posted on Instagram on Sunday.
“Leaving this four-week trip with a fractured collarbone, time to get our heads down and get to work. Grateful for the team behind me.”
Shriever claimed Britain’s first BMX Olympic medal with gold at Tokyo 2020.
This summer’s Olympics begin on Friday, 26 July.
