FIA President no longer head of World Council
11 March 2010Formula 1 governing body the FIA has changed how verdicts will be determined following protest cases in the sport. From now on, no individual involved in a questionable situation will be present before a decision is made and, more significantly, neither will the President of the Paris-based federation.
With Jean Todt having taken the reigns as FIA President last October, Thursday's changes to the way its World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) is run are the first major modifications to be made since the Frenchman took over from predecessor Max Mosley.
Previously, with cases such as the highly-controversial 'Crashgate' race-fixing scandal which rocked the sport last year, President Mosley was head of the WMSC which collected the views of events of all involved before making a final decision. Now, neither the reporter of an incident or any individual who is allegedly involved will be present.
Hearings will be chaired by the FIA's Deputy President for Sport as opposed to the President and, once a decision has been published, parties involved will then have the option to appeal through the FIA International Court of Appeal (ICA).
