F1, FIA and All 11 Teams Sign 2026–2030 Governance Concorde Agreement

The pact channels more funding to the FIA to professionalise race governance.

Overview

  • All parties approved the governance deal covering 2026–2030, completing the Concorde framework alongside the commercial agreement signed in March.
  • Official statements say the agreement directs additional resources to the FIA to upgrade race regulation, race direction, stewarding and technical expertise.
  • From 2026, F1 Commission thresholds change: a standard majority needs four team votes (down from six) and a super-majority needs six (down from eight).
  • Reporting indicates a reworked entry-fee model that increases collective payments to the FIA by about $15 million per year, with funds expected to be reinvested in governance functions.
  • The agreement was announced in Tashkent during the FIA General Assemblies as Mohammed Ben Sulayem was re-elected unopposed for a new four-year term.
