The International Automobile Federation, also known as FIA, is a privately owned organization headquartered in France. Founded in 1904, with approximately 490 employees, the Federation reported $216.8M in revenue as of 2025. It functions as a non-profit organization responsible for regulating and promoting motorsports and cycling worldwide. Its remit includes setting safety standards for motorsports, organizing and sanctioning racing events, and promoting road safety. The FIA also governs various international motorsport competitions, including Formula One, the World Rally Championship, and the World Endurance Championship.
On July 10, 2026, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem proposed an FIA-approved standard engine for Formula 1 customer teams from 2031. This concept links to the planned return of naturally aspirated V8 engines and aims to reduce manufacturers’ influence over independent teams. Previously, on July 9, the FIA announced it would investigate "Macarena" wings on both Red Bull and Ferrari cars following successive accidents involving Max Verstappen, which were attributed to Red Bull's rotating rear wing. Earlier, on July 8, Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies confirmed ongoing talks with the FIA after the governing body, through its ADUO process, ranked Red Bull's power unit as the best in Formula 1, denying the team opportunities for upgrades and surprising observers who expected Mercedes to hold the top spot. This followed Ben Sulayem's revelation on July 8 of details for Formula 1's post-2030 engine formula, including the possibility of an independent supplier for customer teams, centering on a simpler, lighter, and less expensive V8 power unit.
