Sebastien Ogier apologises for “out of line” interaction with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem

Sébastien Ogier has publicly apologized for an "out of line interaction" with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña during the Rally Paraguay. The interaction occurred on Saturday, following Ogier's concerns about the World Rally Championship (WRC) and complaints about Hankook tyre supplier's performance.

Ogier had been vocal about the tyre supplier's issues after several punctures on Friday and a subsequent retirement due to front suspension damage. After the rally, Ogier posted an apology on social media, acknowledging that his comments were not the right moment or tone to raise his concerns. He also met with Ben Sulayem to discuss areas that needed improvement in the sport.
