FIA Proposes Controversial Changes to Internal Governance Rules
Motorsport’s governing body, the FIA, is proposing changes to its internal governance rules that could limit accountability for leadership misconduct. These proposed revisions, set to be voted on by member clubs, would place ethics complaints under direct oversight of the FIA president and remove the independent investigative powers of the audit committee. Critics argue these changes could hinder whistleblower protections and reduce transparency. The proposals come amid investigations into FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s financial practices, following significant management resignations.
