The FIA has announced it has agreed with Formula 1 to formulate a “new strategic plan” to benefit the sport amid recent tensions between the two respective parties.
There has been an evident rift between the two organisations involved in the governance of the sport in recent times, including the addition of an 11th side to the grid.
The FIA accepted Andretti’s proposal last October, but Formula One Management (FOM) turned down the eponymous team as it doubted the value that it would bring.
Furthermore, the FIA received criticism when it instigated an investigation last December regarding an alleged exchange of confident information between two people.
The probe proved to be shortlived concerning Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and F1 Academy Managing Director Susie Wolff, who has now commenced legal proceedings.
But it appears the FIA and FOM are insistent on reducing those growing hostilities with the news that the groups are cooperating on a strategic scheme centred on F1.
“The FIA Formula 1 world championship has never been so strong and is growing globally and the FIA and Formula 1 are committed to delivering the best outcomes for the whole sport,” the FIA posted in a statement.
“To that end, both parties are developing a new strategic plan that will allow us to seize the opportunities and further enhance the potential for F1 in the years ahead.”
