Formula One's governing body approved statute changes on Friday that critics say will limit the powers of audit and ethics committees. The International Automobile Federation (FIA) said the revisions were approved at its general assembly in Kigali ahead of a gala awards ceremony for the year's various championships in the Rwandan capital.

The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), Formula 1's governing body, has approved a series of controversial changes to its statutes, sparking significant debate within the motorsport community. These changes include the introduction of a clause that prohibits political, religious, and personal statements by drivers without prior approval from the FIA, aiming to maintain neutrality in motorsport. This decision has been met with criticism from drivers like Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, who argue that such restrictions could hinder their ability to address important social issues. The FIA's move is seen as an attempt to control the narrative and focus on the sport itself, but it raises concerns about freedom of speech and the role of athletes in advocating for change. Additionally, the FIA has made other governance changes, including the creation of a new category for endurance races and modifications to the election process for its president, which now requires a two-thirds majority.
