FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been cleared of interfering in Formula One races in Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas last year.

Ben Sulayem was accused of interfering with the result of last year's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - specifically overturning a penalty given to Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso - and attempting to block the certification of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
