The news has been confirmed by the FIA, but the president has requested privacy at this time.
Saif Ben Sulayem was a keen motorsport enthusiast like his father.
He had even tried to forge his own path into motorsport as a racing driver.
Saif had competed in the 2016/17 UAE Formula 4 championship which saw him come against current F1 drivers Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant.
However, he ultimately decided against following this career path.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem was elected FIA president in December 2021.
He has played a key role in restructuring the organisation since replacing Jean Todt.
