Hello rally fans :)!
If you’ve followed rally for even a second with us here, the name Malcolm Wilson probably rings a bell. The M-Sport legend, the man behind so many blue and white Ford victories, and someone whose name is engraved into rally history. And now? He’s entering a whole new chapter!!
Malcolm Wilson has just been nominated as the candidate for FIA Deputy President for Sport, stepping into a role previously held by Robert Reid, who recently resigned. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem made the announcement, naming Wilson as his new nominee, and honestly? I love to see it🤘🏻😅.
This isn’t just some honorary pin. Malcolm’s been deeply involved in motorsport for decades not just as a driver, but as a team boss, an innovator, and a guy who’s spent his life building up talent and pushing boundaries🙏🏻. He’s the one who helped turn M-Sport into what it is today a true winning ground for WRC champions.
What’s exciting (and kind of surreal) is seeing a rally figure take such a significant step into FIA leadership. Let’s be real here for a secondf… rally often plays second fiddle to Formula 1 in motorsport politics, so having someone who knows rally from the inside out represent us at the top is a big deal🙏🏻❤️!!!
This role could give him the platform to influence the future of not only rally, but motorsport in general, helping shape policies, support initiatives, and maybe even bring some of that M-Sport grit into FIA decision making😀.
This feels like a possible turning point for rally. And honestly? I’m rooting for him. Because if anyone deserves to carry the voice of rally higher up the chain, it’s Malcolm🥹
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻:)
