Deep dives

Tensions between FIA and F1 ignite breakaway speculation

There is growing tension between the FIA and F1, with hints of a possible breakaway. While a breakaway is not yet probable, the actions and disagreements between the two sides are pushing the boundaries and increasing the chances. Disruption caused by disagreements and investigations into F1's commercial value and regulations reflect dissatisfaction with the FIA's role. These negotiations and tensions are laying the groundwork for the next Concorde Agreement, replacing the current one set to expire in 2025.
