Motorsport UK chairman David Richards criticizes the FIA's dismissive response to his governance concerns, highlighting the organization's "opaque" structure and concentration of power under Mohammed Ben Sulayem's leadership.

Formula 1 may abandon its planned 2026 hybrid regulations in favor of a return to V10 engines by 2028, according to reports. The potential shift highlights growing concerns about F1's technical direction among manufacturers.

FIA president Ben Sulayem barred senior officials including Robert Reid and David Richards from a World Motor Sport Council meeting after they refused to sign stricter non-disclosure agreements.

The FIA has mandated multiple pitstops for the Monaco Grand Prix in a significant format change aimed at improving racing spectacle, while also implementing stricter technical regulations and clarifying various sporting rules.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem suggests exploring a return to V10 engines running on sustainable fuels for F1's future, despite the sport's commitment to hybrid technology and increasing electrification.
