BBC Sport reported that FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is planning to remove age limits for office holders at the FIA. The supplied information does not include any formal confirmation from the governing body, so the proposal remains a reported plan rather than an approved rule change.

RaceFans also reported that Ben Sulayem is planning to scrap age limits for FIA representatives. Based on the sources provided, no implementation date, vote outcome or final text of any amendment has been confirmed.

The issue relates to FIA governance rather than Formula 1 competition on track, but it concerns the structure of the body that regulates the championship. On the information supplied, the position is limited to reports by BBC Sport and RaceFans about Ben Sulayem’s intentions, with no confirmed decision yet.
