F1: Fresh power for Todt and Ecclestone
The World Motor Sport Council has given FIA president Jean Todt and Bernie Ecclestone the power to make recommendations and decisions on key issues regarding Formula 1's future.
F1's governance has been under the spotlight recently, with the current structure – including the effectiveness of the Strategy Group – being blamed for a perceived lack of direction. With progress on some of the problems facing F1 proving to be slow during the course of 2015, the WMSC has tasked Todt and Ecclestone with taking the lead on several key decisions.
A statement from the WMSC said the mandate was approved "by a near unanimous number" with "just one vote against."
The issues Todt and Ecclestone will primarily focus on regard F1's governance, engine regulations and cost reduction. The pair plan to "establish conclusions on these matters" by the end of January 2016.
