FIA pushes on with 'competitor's staff licence'
The World Motor Sport Council has confirmed that it is to submit a proposal to the General Assembly so that a 'specific licence is created for a restricted list of members of staff of the competitors' entered in the FIA Formula One World Championship.
The 'competitor’s staff licence' is a response to what happened with former Renault team boss, Flavio Briatore and former Renault executive director of engineering, Pat Symonds following Singapore-gate, the race fixing scandal, which engulfed F1 in 2009.
The FIA sees the licence as a means of ensuring good sporting conduct and in addition to applying to F1, it will also be enforced for the FIA World Touring Car Championship, the FIA World Rally Championship and the FIA GT1 World Championship.
The full FIA statement explained: "The World Motor Sport Council will submit a proposal to the General Assembly that a specific licence is created for a restricted list of members of staff of the competitors entered in the FIA World Championships.
"The aim is to introduce a system that ensures they are subject to the criteria set out in a new FIA Code of Good Standing.
"This would apply to a minimum of six people per competitor, including the Team Principal, Sporting Director, Team Manager, Technical Director and two race engineers (or equivalent).
"A new mechanism will be introduced to control access to areas under the jurisdiction of the FIA and no pass of any kind will be issued to any person or body who is not in good standing for the purposes of the FIA International Sporting Code.
"Entrants will also become responsible for their staff, meaning any person connected directly or indirectly with the entrant in connection with their participation in an event."
