BBC Sport reported that the FIA approved a proposal to remove term limits for its president. According to that report, the measure passed by a majority of more than 90%.

The reported change concerns the presidency of the FIA, the governing body that oversees Formula 1 and other world motorsport championships. Based on the supplied source, this is a governance development rather than a sporting one, and no further details beyond the reported vote margin were provided.

Because the development was supplied as unconfirmed, it remains reported rather than independently established here. If confirmed, the vote would amount to a rule change affecting the top office in Formula 1's governing structure.
