Liberty Media have also rejected a £20bn bid from Saudi Ara𓃲bia in early-2022 to buy F1, according to .

But the Saudis are “open to raising” 🉐their offer, the report claims.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem downplayed that huge price-tag in a series of ꦚtweets, u🅷rging buyers to “apply common sense”.

That landed him in hot 𒈔water with F1 bosses who wrote a letter of complaint to the FIA.
