Motorsport’s governing body wants to change its rules to limit the ways its leadership can be held to account for bad governance.
A set of revisions to the statutes governing the audit and ethics committees has been circulated to member clubs to be approved at a vote of the FIA general assembly on 13 December.
These would ensure that any ethics complaints were overseen by the FIA president and president of its senate, rather than the senate itself.
And they would remove the power of the audit committee to investigate financial issues independently.
Commercial breaks? What about “Sting Ray Bob’s Team Goodheart Animal Health Centers car is coming in for a new set of Firestone sticker reds and a new tank of Shell racing fuel!”
Don’t get me wrong that stuff is hot garbage too but I could mute the TV and watch the racing if it weren’t for the picture in picture ads and the other fuckery they pull. It’s super annoying and drives me away from the live broadcast.
