The FIA has revised its emergency measures to lift restrictions on Russian and Belarusian drivers and no longer binds them to a commitment of ‘neutrality’, walking back on the measures placed on them following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the FIA introduced a series of sanctions against Russian and Belarusian organisations and drivers. No international events or competitions were permitted to take place in either nation, and their national teams were also excluded.

All drivers, competitors, and officials were also required to sign a commitment to neutrality. T
