FIA reportedly drops neutrality rule for Russians

Autosport, Motorsport.com and RaceFans reported the FIA revised its emergency measures, lifting restrictions on Russian and Belarusian drivers.

Autosport, Motorsport.com and RaceFans reported that the FIA has revised its emergency measures for Russian and Belarusian drivers. According to those reports, the change removes previous restrictions and no longer requires affected competitors to sign a neutrality commitment.

The same outlets said the original measures were introduced after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. RaceFans reported the FIA had lifted the post-2022 ban on Russians competing in motorsport, while Autosport and Motorsport.com reported the federation had rolled back the framework it had used since then.

No FIA statement was included in the supplied source material, so the change remains reported here rather than independently confirmed.
