Robert Reid, the deputy president for sport at the FIA, has resigned, citing a 'fundamental breakdown in governance standards within motorsport's global governing body'. This move comes amid a series of controversies surrounding the FIA president. Reid expressed alarm over critical decisions being made without due process or proper consultation. The FIA has faced multiple issues, and Reid's resignation raises questions about the future of the organization.

The FIA is also dealing with legal challenges and internal conflicts. Reid's departure follows changes to the FIA Statutes and comes after MotorsportUK chairman David Richards' open letter accusing the FIA of a 'shift of moral compass'.
