Motorsport’s governing body has put through controversial plans that would ensure ethics complaints would be handled directly by the FIA president and the president of its senate

The FIA is looking to revise its policies in order to reduce the mechanisms for holding its leadership accountable for poor governance, BBC Sport reports. This means that FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulaymen would neutralise the abilities of informers to clearly expose questionable behaviour to the ethics and audit committees.

The FIA wants to limit the ways its leadership can be held to account for bad governance after allegations were made against its president.
