International Automobile Federation, also known as FIA, is a privately owned organization headquartered in France. Founded in 1904, it operates with approximately 490 employees and reported $216.8M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the organization specializes in motorsports and cycling. It is a non-profit entity responsible for regulating and promoting motorsports worldwide, with responsibilities that include setting safety standards for motorsports, organizing and sanctioning racing events, and promoting road safety. The FIA also governs international motorsport competitions such as Formula One, the World Rally Championship, and the World Endurance Championship.
On July 23, 2026, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem confirmed plans to explore a return to V8 power for Formula 1, actively mapping out possibilities in response to fan demand for naturally aspirated engines. Simultaneously, the FIA announced its energy recovery rules for the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix, permitting up to 9.0 megajoules of energy recovery per lap and establishing two Alt 1 zones where electrical output will hold at approximately 250 kW. Earlier that day, Ben Sulayem had indicated that any V8 reintroduction would need to meet strict criteria. This follows criticism on July 22, 2026, when FIA stewards drew scrutiny for fining Ferrari only for an unsafe release during the Belgian Grand Prix, an incident that involved Lewis Hamilton and a mechanic.
