F1 Finalizes 2026–2030 Concorde Governance Pact Rebalancing Votes

Lower voting thresholds aim to speed rulemaking with increased fees earmarked for FIA race operations.

Overview

  • Formula One Management, the FIA and all eleven teams signed the governance accord at the FIA General Assembly in Tashkent, completing the Concorde framework after the commercial deal in March.
  • From 2026 the Formula 1 Commission will require four team votes for a simple majority and six for a supermajority, increasing the relative influence of the FIA and FOM.
  • The entry and registration fee structure will be overhauled to deliver more funding to the FIA for race direction, stewards, marshals and other track services.
  • According to detailed reporting, fees will be tied to constructors’ standings and are expected to raise roughly $15 million more per year for the FIA, with mid‑field teams facing larger increases.
  • The agreement runs through 2030 and coincides with technical rules that will require all cars to display the FIA logo from 2026.
