According to the BBC, plans are being made for complaints to be handled directly by Ben Sulayem and the president of the senate, Carmelo Sanz De Barros. If approved at the FIA general assembly on December 13th, the current senate would be replaced, giving more power to the president. Recent complaints against Ben Sulayem include financial questions and alleged interference in Grand Prix operations. This has led to several resignations within the FIA, including race steward Tim Mayer and CEO Natalie Robyn. Changes in FIA rules on drivers using swear words have also sparked controversy, with Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc facing repercussions. The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association has criticized these rulings and called for a reconsideration.
